The unsolved murder of his partner Jake Marley on Christmas Eve, Private Eye Richard Stone is forced by four spirits, to take a good look at himself.

CHICAGO, 1942. At his Christmas Eve office party, private eye Richard Stone celebrates bribing his way out of the draft. He's a disappointment to secretary/main squeeze, Katie Crockett, whose brother Ben is fighting overseas; and his honest young employee, Joey Ernest, is guilt-ridden over all the divorce-racket keyhole peeping. Just a year ago tonight, Stone's sleazy partner Jake Marley was murdered, a crime the detective didn't bother solving.

After Stone is visited by an ankle-chained Jake, on leave from Purgatory to demand his murder be solved, three more 'visitors' arrive to 'help,' one at a time - the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future: Bonnie of Bonnie & Clyde infamy; a recently decreased soldier; and a strange entity who just might be the King of Rock 'n' Roll.

From the creator of Road to Perdition comes a fantasy brimming with chills, humor and heart. Rob Merritt (Dead Air) and Midwest superstar Alisabeth Von Presley (American Idol) lead a cast of 24 in a new seasonal soon-to-be classic.
