The story opens with the three siblings bike-riding together in their neighborhood when suddenly they are running down a hill without a bike, dressed in weird clothing, and wondering where their cell phones are. They meet a shepherd boy named Benjamin holding a slingshot and sitting with a flock of sheep. Learning that his grandfather was one of the shepherds who heard the message of the angels at the birth of Jesus, they come to understand that they are a long way from home. In fact, they are near Bethlehem! They realize that there is nothing they can do but pal along with Benjamin, so they set off with him. But when they hear the howls of wild wolves growing closer, they know that Benjamin's flock of sheep is in great danger...
