Wright, Nicholas Shone, Matthew West, Gary Ray MooreNur noch eine knappe Woche dauert es bis zum Weihnachtsfest, und die kleine Vorortstraße mit den Nachbarn, die sich (fast) alle kennen und gut leiden können, glüht bereits in Vorfreude. Da aber trübt ein brutaler Schicksalsschlag die Stimmung: Matt, der älteste Sohn von Ann und Mike, bricht bei einem Basketballspiel mit einem Herzinfarkt zusammen, fällt ins Koma. Nur eine Herztransplantation könnte noch helfen, doch fehle ein geeigneter Spender, wird den verzweifelten Eltern beschieden. Die wenden sich in ihrer Not an eine höhere Macht.
Kurz vor Weihnachten benötigt Teenager Matt eine Herztransplantation. Unsentimentales TV-Familiendrama.
