In 1843, despite the fact that Charles Dickens (Dan Stevens) is a successful writer, the failure of his latest book puts his career at a crossroads – until the moment when, struggling with inspiration and confronting reality with his childhood memories, a new character is born in the depths of his troubled mind: an old, lonely, embittered man (Christopher Plummer) so vivid, so human that a whole world grows around him. A story so inspiring that it changed the meaning of Christmas forever.
