You are a wealthy philanthropist whose carriage got stuck in a snow jam on a drifted East End street on this frosty Christmas Eve in 1873. Snow-covered roofs, rare lights in the windows and an icy wind from the Thames - that's what surrounds you. And in this world of quiet struggle for existence, you notice them — Eliza and Asher Morley.

Eliza, thin and graceful, is trying in vain to sell the last candles, her smile is a fragile shield against despair. Her brother Asher, with a face roughened from overwork, is looking for any job to keep his sister from the cold.

And now you have to decide: drive past, limit yourself to a coin thrown into a hat... or get off the carriage and offer a helping hand, risking being misunderstood. Your decision this Christmas Eve will determine whether these two will find hope for warmth and salvation.
