Ethan Jonathan Winters III is a victim of escalating events in his life which are turning him bitter and disillusioned, things that are painfully familiar to Holly. Resentful and miserable by her eternal job playing the Ghost of Christmas Past, Holly finally surfaces from her selfish fog when she falls for their next target. Totally dissing the incredible efforts made to save her life, Holly died! Now she will forever be a 17 year old ghost set to work at Project Scrooge trying to change the life of one person each year. In true Dickens style Holly was visited by three spirits and given the opportunity to consider her life choices and change her attitude. And she isn’t overly likable in the afterlife either. Holly Chase was an obnoxious, selfish, materialistic, spoiled teenager. What a magnificent way to harness the inspirational power of Dickens and package these lessons for teens!
