Each night of the holiday season, one man drives a two-mile route alone, switching off a dazzling Christmas light show after everyone else has gone home.

A funny, quietly poignant portrait of the man whose job is to end the holiday magic every single night.

At the end of each night during the Christmas period, one man must drive a 2-mile stretch alone, turning off all the power to a holiday light show, ending the joy day after day. This is his story.
