Plot Synopsis

A contemporary twist on the Charles Dickens classic, "A Christmas Carol." Carol Huffman is one of Chicago's most successful book publishers and a ruthless businesswoman. She is all business and has created a life that has no room for personal relationships. Her staff hates her and is secretly organizing a revolt. They all wish that the founder, Eve Miller, was still alive to run the company again -- or at least someone who appreciates good books instead of just wanting to make a buck. During a Christmas Eve party, an agent introduces Carol to an up-and-coming author, and she is shocked to meet Ben, her boyfriend from 15 years ago. She storms off after quarreling over their past irreconcilable differences; she wanted financial success while he was more interested in being a good writer no matter how little money he made. Obviously rattled by the conversation, she tries to compose herself when she comes face to face with the ghost of her former boss, Eve. Terrified, she tries to run away but is transported back in time where Eve takes her on a journey through her past, present and future showing Carol the unhappiness she has created. Carol wakes up on Christmas morning determined to make amends for her cold-hearted past and finds true love is worth more than a bestseller...and a merry Christmas was had by all!
