A Christmas Star

Synopsis

Born in dramatic circumstances under the Christmas Star, Noelle believes she has the gift to perform strange miracles. When conniving developer McKerrod threatens her peaceful life she teams up with a misfit gang to save the village from demolition. However, one by one her friends lose faith in Noelle’s abilities and she is left to fight Mckerrod on her own. It all hinges on a final showdown in Belfast’s historic Stormont building as Noelle implores politicians, her friends and the watching world to believe in the true meaning of Christmas…love.
