A Christmas Carol: Of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come
Tick tock, tick tock. It’s Christmas time; Santa’s ghosts are coming to town. New York, 1963. A man in his late fifties, by the name of Robert Marley, is of the same blood as the wolves of Wall Street. One of a kind. As old as cold, as rich as selfish, as greedy as grumpy. Time is money… But time becomes Marley’s nemesis when the spirits of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come question and defy his humanity.
See, watch, look closely, Mister Marley; this will be your last chance to turn things around. Will you get it? Or will you be doomed to this miserable existence until the end of time? Embark with Marley on a journey around his world in three days and three nights, starting on Christmas Eve. Infernal, intense, and breathtaking.
Love, regrets, bitterness, fear. But it’s not too late, Mister Marley; it never is. Or is it? Tick tock, tick tock. Humbug! I’d rather not.
So, Happy Christmas to all!
