Plot Synopsis

In the small town of Normal, Alaska, John Miller and his family discover a mysterious gift outside their home on Christmas Eve that contains a snow globe with a perfect reflection of their quaint little town inside. On the bottom of the snow globe, they find a series of buttons and a winding key. When they turn the key, the clock tower inside the replica town begins to tick -- and despite having been broken for years the real clock on Normal's Main Street starts ticking too. While the Millers watch the falling snow, a crack appears in the tiny replica road. Suddenly, a massive earthquake strikes Normal, ripping open a fissure down Main Street. Smoke and fire explode from the ground as terrified townspeople run for their lives. None of them could ever believe that such a disaster is connected to a simple toy. Huge balls of ice rain down from the sky, exploding in bursts of razor-sharp shards. In town, buildings and people alike are shredded. With his son missing and his wife and daughter stranded, John must rally the people of Normal to survive these disasters, rescue his family, and face the incredible truth: that unless he finds a way to destroy the snow globe, none of them will live to see another Christmas.
