Plot
Will Loomis (Kirk Cameron) is living with his mentally disabled sister Violet (Jenny Robertson) after their parents have died. She wants a young child to play with for Christmas, so Will drugs and kidnaps a child from the local orphanage, and later, when his sister says she doesn't like the boy and demands her brother gets her a girl, Will kidnaps a girl from an abusive home.
The children are told they have died and are in heaven. Will and Violet try to make their farm "a little piece of heaven" for the kids, while the authorities wonder what has happened to the missing children.
After the police locate the children, Will is arrested. During a hearing, both children defend Will's actions. A judge orders Will to open their farm to other disadvantaged children which the court will assign to their care.
