Who among us hasn't wondered "what if?". What if we hadn't met our spouses, or ended up at the jobs we have? If I had left five minutes earlier, I wouldn't have gotten that speeding ticket. If I had taken a different route home, I could have avoided that accident. Who we are and how we arrived here is the result of billions of decisions that we make every day, every minute, every second.
Tony Towers is a successful and regionally famous club owner who is about to expand his empire by adding another six locations. We meet Tony and his fiance Susan on a train, where they are soon joined by Tony's brother (Roger) and his wife. The conversation becomes a bit uncomfortable; it appears the two had a falling out in the past, causing Roger to walk away from the family business. Only interested in celebrating his upcoming marriage and his new clubs, Tony Towers walks into the next train car for a bit of bubbly.
In the next train car, however, no one, not even the conductor, recognizes him. After much dialog, Tony realizes that by moving forward in the train, he has moved forward in time. By moving back and forth between the two cars, Tony can make different choices in the past and see how they play out in the future. Before long, Tony realizes if he were to move even further back in the train, he could revisit his past as well.
A little bit A Christmas Carol and a little bit Butterfly Effect, Last Train to Christmas shows the effects of our choices throughout our lives. As Tony moves to and from the train cars we see how the choices he makes affects his marriages, his relationship with his brother, the success of his career, and what kind of career he ended up pursuing.
Part of the fun of Last Train to Christmas is watching Tony Towers make decisions for better or for worse. Part of the fun is playing along at home. If you could go back in time, what would you change? How far back would you go?
