Isaiah Miller as the boy

December 24th and 25th, amidst cardboard shelters and trash-can hearths, Otis Pope (Keithwayne Brock Johnson), a sardonic army veteran, decides who is allowed to stay in the enclave, and who must go. Currently part of this "family" are Verna, (Shelly Bordas) a disoriented frequently pregnant, sometimes gritty, other times child-like woman; her nameless and mute eight-year-old son (Isaiah Miller); Charlie, (CJ Hosier) a down-on-his-luck unemployed blue collar worker; Azalee Hodge (Gwen Harris), an outspoken woman trying to climb back up and Filomeno Cordero (Arthur Martinez), a recent illegal from Central America, who finds the group on Christmas eve. Discovering a worn-out copy of Dickens' A Christmas Carol, the group responds to Verna's pleas to re-enact the old story as a gift for her son. She can't wait to be Tiny Tim. The others cast Pope in the Scrooge role. Filo, unfamiliar with the story, casts himself as Bob Marley, complete with reggae performances.
