Three weeks before
Christmas, workaholic accountant Peter Brockman (Jason Gedrick) is dumped by his
fiancée, Jill Crosby (Cindy Sampson), because of his non participation in their
lives.
He metaphorically
drowns his sorrows, drinking a soda, in a piano bar and gets talking with the
lounge's "volunteer" pianist and singer Bob (Tyrone Benskin) who plays
for tips.
They discuss their
love of music and forgotten dreams of youth.
Bob invited Peter to
his home for dinner with his family, but his home turned out to be a homeless
shelter run by Sister Agatha (Rhea Perlman) and his family were a group of
homeless men.
After being introduced
to Bobs “family” a jam session ensued.
His visit to the home
served as an epiphany and he suggested they form a choir in order that the men
could raise a little extra pocket money for the holidays.
The choir faced many
obstacles along the way and there were many ups and downs.
Alongside his work
with the choir he also met Marilyn (Marianne Farley) who worked in the subway
kiosk and a relationship develops between them and she is also instrumental in
reconciling Peter with his alcoholic father Henry Brockman (Michael Sarrazin).
This is a very nice
Holiday tale which is based on a true story and is most enjoyable.
