Racquel Erreza is a force of nature. An up-and-coming Latina executive already featured in Fortune Magazine. She's a selfish, conniving, lesbian dating app creator, who treats her employees with malice and contempt. They have their own nickname for her "Ebeneza" The Grinch that is going steal her employee's Christmas for a second year in a row. As the holidays approach, all she can focus on is the successful launch of her dating app, no matter the cost to her family and employees. And she expects the same of her employees. Most especially, Ted, a gentle soul, and her assistant. Ted believes in Racquel and everything she's doing as much as anyone in the world. But also needs to spend time and watch over his now-widowed Grandma, the only one in the family who stuck for him when he came out.

Possibly the only one more ruthless than her is James. The prominent uber-rich long-time start-up investor, James. The man who Raquel has decided she needs to look up to and follow in the footsteps of. His very lonely greedy miserable footsteps.

She's already sabotaged the relationship with the love of her life, Jane. She is a non-entity in the lives of her parents, her sister, Margaret, and her niece and nephew who absolutely adore her for the awesome presents she(Ted) gets them every year. The person she spends the most time with besides Ted and James is Ricardo. The hardworking son of immigrants who just wants to provide his kids with a better life than he had. But she just knows him as her driver whom she treats like dirt.

On a snowy night with her being an extra annoying backseat driver to Ricardo, the car slides off the road. The terrible car accident leaves Racquel in a coma. In the hospital, she is first visited by James' now-deceased business partner, Anthony. He was also helping with the rollout of her new app and he really wants to help her now. He's come from Hell to let her know she needs to change her ways before she meets the same fate as him. He tells her she will be getting some special visitors and another chance to do right by all the people in her life that truly matter. One by one she comes face to face with three ghosts, three diverse unique ghosts the likes that have never been seen before on film. But we all know them as The Ghost of Christmas Past, Present, and Future. They all do their best to show this hard-headed business comes first woman the error of her ways. But does she really believe it, does she want to change, and is it too little too late?
