In the vibrant 1980s where forgotten treasures fill the shelves of a neighborhood pawn shop, Ebenezer Scrooge has built his life on one rule "time is money." But, on Christmas Eve unexpected visitors invite him to look beyond the objects he buys and sells, and into the stories and people connected to them. As the story unfolds, Scrooge is forced to confront his own life and discover that some things are too precious to pawn away.
"Scrooge's Pawn" is a heartwarming, funny, nostalgic reimagining of Dickens' classic about second chances and the priceless things that make life worth living.
