But, on New Year's Eve, summoned to the church tower by a mysterious chiming, Trotty witnesses his own death, and is taken on a ghostly journey that will force him to reassess his conviction.
One of Dickens' 'Christmas stories', The Chimes is charming and surprising manifesto for empathy for our fellow man.
