Scrooge! follows Ebenezer Scrooge, a miserly man who despises Christmas and its season of giving. On Christmas Eve, he is visited by the ghost of his former business partner, Jacob Marley, who warns him of the consequences of his ways. Throughout the night, Scrooge encounters three more spirits who show him his past, present, and a grim future if he doesn’t change.
