The playgrounds have been abandoned, their stories buried in the past and violators are harshly punished. The Ellis family is a respectable, hard-working part of the community that harbors a deeply guarded secret. There is magic in their blood. When Johnny and Ellie find a mysterious lake just beyond their property, their father forbids them to go any further. But Johnny, Ellie and their friends feel that there must be more to their lives than just surviving. They feel called to mystery, adventure and heroism.
