It’s Christmas Eve in Townlee, NJ and the former holiday oasis has fallen on hard times. The small town’s hopes are all riding on Bail Hatchell, an overworked AI/hologram designer who’s made a walking, talking Charles Dickens that spins tales and spurns fools like the famous author of A Christmas Carol. Bail’s invention, 7 years in the making, could save the hologram company, revive the town, and most importantly – restore his relationship with his 9-year-old daughter…who loves Christmas. What follows is a high-stakes race against the clock, with Dickens and Santa leading the charge. Funny, heartwarming, and family-friendly, Shorte List is a story about the power of believing in each other!
