Alone at Home

Five days before Christmas, a grumpy 80 year old is left alone at home to watch a cat he dislikes and it’s the beginning of a hilarious misadventure.  He’s a blend of Archie Bunker’s crustiness, Fred Flintstone’s prehistoric allure and Mr. Magoo’s silly antics.  It’s a heartwarming tale of redemption, filled humor, comical mishaps and the healing power of forgiveness – promising to become a new Christmas classic!

Holden's Promise
