It's Christmas Eve in Townlee, New Jersey and the small town's
hopes are riding on Bailey Hatchell, an overworked AI/hologram
designer who's made a walking, talking Charles Dickens that spins
tales and spurns fools like the famous author of A Christmas Carol.
Bailey's invention, seven years in the making, could revive the town
if the presentation to a billionaire gaming mogul goes well, but he
wants to alter Bailey's invention for his own gain. And while the
town is excited about the potential tourist attraction, Bailey's 9-yearold
daughter, Hayley, is preoccupied with bigger problems as she
heads into a Christmas Eve storm to find Santa Claus. Faced with
restoring Hayley's belief in Christmas or rescuing his hijacked hologram,
only the arrival of a man claiming to be the real Charles
Dickens can help Bailey unlock a magical Shorte List and save his
daughter and the town. What follows is a high-stakes race against
the clock, with Dickens and Santa leading the charge. Lively, funny,
and full of heart, this is a story about the true meaning of family,
and the power of believing in each other.
