Plot Summary

With ambitious plans to open a bed-and-breakfast, Bill and his family relocate from sunny California to snowy Norway to live the Norwegian Dream. But there's more to Uncle Eric's house than meets the eye. After all, the locals never believed the eccentric recluse died from a fall. To further complicate matters, as if trying to stay positive and make things happen weren't challenging enough, the blissful newcomers encounter what people call a "nisse", an outlandish discovery just before Christmas Eve. Logic denies it, but there's something in the barn. And, strange as it may sound, some houses come with instructions. If your life depended on it, wouldn't you follow three simple rules?
