No, this isn’t your grandma’s Christmas Carol, but this modern, urban take on the Dickens classic is sure to hit home with a young generation. Jamz is a famous, filthy rich hip-hop recording artist who’s made it out of his old neighborhood and refuses to ever look back. But his wealth and celebrity lead him to become a selfish punk who neglects everyone around him, even those closest to him, like his assistant, Annie, and his ex-fiancé, Sherlyn. Jamz reveals just how self-centered he can be when his cousin Laban, who’s a preacher in the neighborhood, asks Jamz to do a charity concert for the kids at a local youth center. After Jamz’ nasty refusal, he is visited that night by a group of ghosts: his old partner, Petey B. a suave, stylish ghost of the past, a hip and happy ghost of the present, and a scarily silent ghost of the future. In the end, Jamz learns the true meaning of giving and forgiveness and surprises everyone when he’s overcome by the Christmas spirit and turns his life around once again, this time for the better.
