Ebenezer Scrooge hates happiness, love, family, generosity, and also Christmas. Seven years after the death of his business partner Jacob Marley he is haunted by his ghost, which warns Scrooge that the dead who led bad lives are forced to roam around and not be at peace. The ghost also claims that three other ghosts are going to appear to Scrooge, and that he can change his life before it's too late.
