After a moderate success as a director off Broadway in New York, Cassie Pruitt (Brooke D'Orsay) moves back to Dickens, her hometown where she has been appointed to direct a community theatre production of “A Christmas Carol” on Christmas Eve.
The
play is the culmination of the towns annual Victorian festival but this year it has particular significance as its the
100th anniversary.
All
is going well until the actor playing Ebeneezer Scrooge loses his voice and a replacement
needs to be found, or the performance will be cancelled.
Mayor
Givens (Greg Rogers) suggests asking another Dickensian, action movie star Jake
Dorsey (Kristoffer Polaha) however Cassie is reluctant to approach him as they
have history, but she calls him and to her surprise he agrees.
She
prepares herself to lock horns with him, on everything, but she is surprised
again firstly when it turns out he isn’t just an action star, but is an astonishing
dramatic actor, and secondly that the old feelings stir between them.
