Synopsis
It’s Christmas, and all 14-year-old misfit Callum really wants is a replacement for his beloved dog Brandy - but his overpowering Dad won’t allow it. When Callum is given a mysterious spell book, he decides to stick two fingers up to his father by bringing Brandy back from the dead. Unfortunately, the junior necromancer unwittingly gives terrible life to the horrors that lurk beneath every family Christmas, setting the scene for a truly dysfunctional, supernatural Yuletide showdown.
