After the Oates family moves to Newfoundland, a dark creature kidnaps Beth, the youngest child. To find her, Beth’s siblings Ben and Lynn venture into a mystical world called the Elphyne. The Oates family moves to their ancestral home in Newfoundland following a pair of tragedies. They arrive at their grandmother’s house, where they reunite with their orphaned cousin. Shortly after arriving, Beth, the youngest sibling, is kidnapped by a dark, monstrous creature. Her older siblings set out to find her and bring her back, finding themselves in the Elphyne—a magical world that exists between the ordinary world and the afterlife, where the imagination of children has the power to shape everything around them. The Oates, along with some new allies, must travel through the Elphyne to confront The Dark King, a mysterious being whose arrival has started to corrupt the Elphyne in frightening and unexpected ways.
