The Scrooge Epiphany
It's been six generations since the Scrooge family had a truly evil member. Ebenezer is dead and buried, or so everyone thinks. Death knows differently. The spirits of Christmas managed to extract the goodness buried inside Ebenezer, changing him to a kind and generous man to the end of his days.
The Scrooges have continued to flourish down through the years, exuding kindness and happiness until the present day. Arthur and Natalie Scrooge had no inkling when they were blessed with the arrival of Edwina, or the distress their daughter would inflict upon them in the years to come.
It was as if a dark family secret, resurrected from the past had created an hereditary fault in her mitochondrial DNA. Driven from an early age by greed and spite, Edwina quickly began to exhibit her ancestral Uncle's former wicked ways and as she grew up, became acquainted with other dubious characters who dwell in London's East End.
Years of scheming, swindling, moneylending and associations with the underworld led to the culmination of her involvement in the disastrous north pole caper, which saw her fleeing Santa's factory from a herd of stampeding reindeer.
Laying low back in Ebenezer's old counting house in Cornhill, Edwina is desperate for ideas to make a quick profit to save her from her murderous creditors. She seeks out Ebenezer's grave for inspiration and is alarmed to be confronted by Death, who is watching over him. Despite her distress, she learns about Ebenezer's fortune and where it is hidden.
Meanwhile, far away in an orphanage in Canada, Edwina's long lost cousin Olive is embarking on a journey of her own. with the help of Margaret, she sets up a non profit foundation and begins to be the voice and campaign for the world's poor and oppressed.
As she sets out to cross the Atlantic from New York to London single-handedly in a small yacht , Edwina hits on a plan for a credit card scam and, having found Ebenezer's hidden fortune calls a meeting of fellow villains to discuss her plans. Unfortunately for her, Mr Tchort, the devil by another name finds out and muscles in on the deal.
Olive is tasked with rescuing Edwina by her parents and a party of her supporters come together to do battle with the forces of evil.
There are demons and dead people. Beautiful goddesses and Victorian, Dickensian characters who's blood has passed down through generations and still form a part of the very fabric of London's East End.
Will Olive save Edwina? Who, in turn will save Olive?
