A teenage bully discovers the root of his wicked ways when he goes on three unexpected journeys in one night.
SYNOPSIS:
Eric Bradshaw is the hot senior quarterback who also happens to be the school bully to a scrawny student named Tegan Winbigler. Eric is the epitome of the “In Crowd” jock who wears his letterman jack with his entourage hanging on his every move. Tegan dreads coming to school knowing the fact that he’ll run into Eric and probably get a wedgie or a snowball thrown at his face before first period. One day Eric crosses the line and flushes Tegan’s head in the toilet. That action gets Eric suspended for three days. His parents are so furious they ground him for the entire three days and possibly beyond. They take his cell phone, computer, tablet, and anything else that can connect him to the outside world. Mad at his parents, he falls asleep in his bedroom and when he opens his eyes, he wakes up next to his twelve-year-old self in his old house from 2012. Naturally, as anyone would, he freaks out because has no clue what’s going on. Is this a dream? Is he dead? Nope, this is where he’s visited by an African American ghost…Lamar, the Ghost of Christmas Past. Lamar tells Eric he’s on assignment to bring him back to his middle school days. In Eric’s past we see that he used to be a nerd himself with a huge crush on one of the popular girls, Jennifer Buckner. Jennifer usually took up for Eric as he was getting picked on by his own personal school bully. Just when Eric and Jennifer form a tight bond, Eric has to move to Michigan from Ohio due to his dad’s job transfer. Eric is very upset and becomes a bitter teen. When Lamar drops Eric back off at his present day house, the night unravels from there. Kimmie, The Ghost of Christmas Present, visits Eric and shows him that his current friends and girlfriend are not as loyal to him as he thought. As the night progresses, Eric is visited by one last ghost…Rodney, The Ghost of Christmas Future. Chris shows Eric what his life will be in the year 2028 which is everything he unimagines. From being a broke grocery store worker to living in a grungy one bedroom apartment, life is miserable. The common thread between the past, present and future is that all of these experiences happen on December 12th, for some coincidental reason. After witnessing his future and the future of his family, it’s enough to wake him up with a positive change of heart towards Tegan.

Unique story, Moe Lynch. I think you need to add in the logline that it's a Christmas movie, or explain that the unexpected journeys are Christmas-related.
