Marzipan Alcott used to work in the North Pole as an elf. Yes, a real elf. This year, however, she wants to see what the people who celebrate Christmas do after her work is done. The naive elf finds herself in the midst of New York City, lodging with a pin-up model who has been pining after the coffee shops resident musician for years. At first, she finds the truth behind humanity utterly terrifying and depressing. Even elves can lose their Christmas spirit.
