But as he lies awake on Christmas Eve, Barton receives an unexpected visitor who shows him his life, past, present and future--in a magical new light. Inspired by Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, Lucie Papineau's text and Stephane Poulin's art make for a stiking interpretations of a timeless holiday story.
