Carroll Coleman is a multi-million dollar crank pot miser. He's short tempered and self-serving. He's cold and calloused. He's Scrooge meets Henry F. Potter meets the Grinch. Suffice to say, he's not a fan of much, least of all Christmas. One night, Carroll is visited by a spunky heavenly Angel with a mission. He has been granted an intervention. He's to be sent back to high school in order to learn the true meaning of Christmas from Olivia and Matthew, his niece and nephew, all before his fate is sealed forever.

Soon after Hope Howard is mysteriously fired, her former boss, a desperate scientist, discovers she holds the secret to his fatal illness-but she has disappeared.
