Synopsis

Frank Cross (Bill Murray) is an uncaring and unforgiving television executive whose live production of ‘A Christmas Carol’ is more important to him than any true meaning of Christmas.  Before the night is over, he'll take a hilarious journey through his past and into the future to find redemption and put a little love in his heart.
