Eddie Scrooge (Ross Kemp) is an unscrupulous loan shark living on a poor inner-city estate, who brings misery to everyone who knows him. When his business partner Jacob Marley (Ray Fearon) is shot dead, Eddie realises he knows the reason behind the killing, but chooses not disclose this information to the police, or Marley's family. On Christmas Eve, Eddie awakens from a nightmare about the night of Marley's death, and is taught the true meaning of Christmas by the three ghosts of Christmas, past, present and future: his dad (Warren Mitchell), Marley himself and his future son (Ben Inigo-Jones).
