Synopsis
The year is 1918 and a group of allied solders discover a mysterious book while on a reconnaissance raid in eastern France. Thinking it would make an interesting gift for his fiancé , a young Lieutenant sends it home to America, where his sweetheart works as a history teacher at a boarding school. Just as the package from the front arrives, the semester is over and JOSEPHINE has been assigned the
unenviable task of remaining on campus over the holiday to supervise a handful of children who aren’t going home for Christmas. While looking for a confiscated game in her room, two students stumble across the strange book and unwittingly unleash the Krampus, a demon from ancient times who preys on children while they sleep. Aided by a local constable, Josephine and her students must somehow find a way to stop the Krampus before it’s too late.
