Plot:
Determined to milk Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol (1951) for every drop of profit and personal success, miserly curmudgeon Frank Cross, IBC TV's obnoxious president, has planned a live adaptation for Christmas Eve. And no one can stop him. After all, the tyrannical executive has burned all bridges with everyone, including his family. However, life is a series of unexpected events; when Frank receives a sudden wake-up call from an unexpected ally, an otherworldly nocturnal visitation demands life's mature reevaluation. Now, the uninvited ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future won't leave until Cross sees the error of his ways. But first things first. Is loveless Scrooge capable of change?
