SYNOPSIS: Set in a little bar in northern Minnesota called The Bunyan, it's Christmas Eve and cantankerous bar owner Gunner Johnson gets in an argument with his wife, he storms out of the bar, goes snowmobiling across the lake, falls through the ice, and goes into a coma. He comes back in his dream where he's visited by folk legend, Sven Yorgensen, who plays the ghost of Christmas past, present, and future. Sven takes Gunner (Scrooge) on a journey similar to that in Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol," with a northern Minnesota twist.
