The Drum

When two troubled teens, on the verge of expulsion, are made to help with the lower school Christmas play, they accidentally knock over an ancient drum which sends them back to the time of Jesus' birth. They soon realize their only way back depends on finding the drum in that time, which they saw riding away with three wise-looking guys on horses. Conor and Jamil wind up being captured by Romans, and imprisoned in Jerusalem. Their only hope is to somehow escape, follow the star and hope the drum can get them home.
