He skipped the funeral. The ghost came anyway. Ebenezer Scrooge is a billionaire tech mogul, a recluse living atop a mountain fortress known as Castle Scrooge. Co-founder of Avocado, Inc., a cutting-edge company behind synthetic stem cells and the world's most advanced AI, Eb has everything except sentiment. So when his longtime friend and business partner Jacob Marley dies suddenly, the only tear shed is performed by a droid in Eb's place at the funeral. That should've been the end of it. But Marley isn't quite gone. His consciousness, uploaded into Avocado's omnipresent AI system, has one last mission: to save Eb from himself. On Christmas Eve, Jacob's digital ghost begins a campaign to confront his old friend's greed, cynicism, and detachment. And it begins with two unexpected "gifts" dropped on Scrooge's doorstep: twin girls Jacob secretly adopted, now under Eb's reluctant care. As Christmas morning dawns, Castle Scrooge becomes the stage for an increasingly surreal and hilarious reckoning. Between corporate meltdowns, talking droids with attitude, and unsettling little girls who know far too much, Scrooge must confront a truth no algorithm can predict: maybe the man who has everything is still missing the one thing that matters. Humbug: The Unwinding of Ebenezer Scrooge is a sharp, satirical, and heartfelt reimagining of Dickens' classic, fusing holiday spirit with futuristic flair. Perfect for fans of Black Mirror meets A Christmas Carol, this is a modern ghost story about technology, transformation, and the data we leave behind. Christmas isn't dead. Just uploaded.
