Description

When everyone's favourite reformed miser, Ebenezer Scrooge, errs from the path of goodness, he starts seeing spirits again - this time of a girl, whose murder he must solve if he is to avoid the dreaded vision of The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come.

So when a lucrative business opportunity comes his way he jumps at the chance to make some quick money... to give to the poor, obviously. But maybe just keep some - OK, most - of it for himself.

As Christmas draws closer, and with it Scrooge's Benevolent Christmas Feast for the Poor, he begins to realise there's more at stake than his own soul.
