Seasonal drama based on the novel by Donna van Liere. Two stories intertwine: in the first, Rob Lowe stars as Robert Layton, a workaholic lawyer who is drifting away from his wife, Kate (Maria del Mar) and his family. In the second, a little boy, Nathan (Max Morrow), tries to raise the cash to buy a pair of red shoes for his mother, who is dying from a congenital heart defect. As Robert's path crosses with Nathan's, he is moved to learn the value of love, family and giving.
