A teenager's pregnancy threatens to tear her world apart until she finds it could both reunite a shattered family and help her to find her true purpose in life: to have someone to care for and someone to love.

Based on the book by her adopted daughter, film star Joan Crawford's struggles for her career and battles with the inner demons of her private life lead to an increasingly dysfunctional and abusive relationship with her two adopted children.

Trapped in their New York brownstone's panic room, a hidden chamber built as a sanctuary in the event of break-ins, newly divorced Meg and her daughter Sarah play a deadly game of cat-and-mouse with three intruders during a brutal home invasion. But the room itself is the focal point because what the intruders really want is inside it.

The holiday season is in full swing when a cultured gentleman with twinkling eyes, and ample belly, and a snowy bread is hired as Macy's department store Santa. He claims his name is Kris Kringle, and soon fills everyone with Christmas spirit; except for his boss, Doris Walker, who's raising her daughter to not believe in Santa. But when Kringle is declared insane, and put on trial, everyone's faith is put to the test.
