On a cold winter night, old shepherd Amos (voice of Oliver Walsh) tells his eight-year-old granddaughter Rachel (Maya Gerber) of the magical night in his childhood when he was allowed to visit the newly born Jesus Christ. After he is visited by the Angel Gabriel (Dominic Cooper), the young shepherd travels to Bethlehem to visit the new king.
