BRAN'S EBENEZER THE TRAVELER SYNOPSIS:

The movie starts with a man, Simon Onyx, looking straight into the camera and asking us what we’re doing here. Well, obviously—we’re here to figure out why the heck Ebenezer Scrooge is in present-day Oklahoma.

Flash back to London, 1809. We get the classic Christmas Carol story to catch us up: heartbreak, dead business partner, three ghosts, merry Christmas—you know the drill.

Scrooge returns to his house, thrilled over a shiny quarter. But then, the ghosts kill him. He comes face-to-face with Simon Onyx, who refuses to give him any real answers. Instead, Simon explains that Scrooge still has a shot at redemption. Simon opens a flaming book, and suddenly, Scrooge disappears.

He’s hurled forward seven years and finds himself standing alongside Jacob Marley, Tiny Tim, and Fan—all dead. They reveal that Scrooge himself was murdered, and now the four of them are bound together, dependent on one another for redemption. Oh, and Fan? She’s Scrooge’s sister, though he doesn’t remember her.

They wander around purgatory for a while, collecting mirrors that let them glimpse the soul they’re meant to save: a woman named Angel.

Cut to present-day Oklahoma. Their mission begins at a bar called The Boar’s Den. Scrooge is immediately tossed out, so they seek out Angel’s mom to learn more about her. Eventually, they track Angel to her workplace—a thrift store, oddly enough, run by a young version of Ebenezer Scrooge. Angel is fired for being too kind.

Out of options, she goes to The Boar’s Den for a job. The shady owner assures her he can “find something that’ll work for a beautiful woman like you.” Bad vibes all around.

Since Angel’s true dream is to become a singer, Scrooge and Fan work to make it happen. They rescue her from the big bad guy and connect her with a local music manager. On Christmas Eve, Angel gets her chance to shine at a showcase—and she nails it. Her life is saved.

As for Scrooge, Marley, Tiny Tim, and Fan? Looks like they’re still stuck in purgatory.
