Ben Scrooge lost his partner and lover Jake Marley twelve years ago on this very Christmas Eve. In the sumptuous town house office of “Scrooge & Marley, Interior Design,” Ben’s assistant, Robert Cratchit, awaits permission to close shop, and join his lover, Tim, who is HIV+, and their friends Carol and Maria. The wheels are in motion for a “very bumpy night.” While faithful to the Dickens original, this comedy offers an honest look at gay relationships, with Marilyn Monroe as the “Ghost of Christmas Past,” and “Christmas Present” portrayed as a drag queen.
