Surrounded by pain and confusion, Bean sets off to discover that not everything is what it seems at first. He discovers an unexplainable and mysterious wilderness, strangers that help him as he learns to trust himself, and malevolent manifestations of his fears that attempt to keep him from discovering the truth. With the aid of new friends, Bean finds the courage to believe in the impossible, uncover the strength to fend off his fears, and discover what really happened to his father. Love becomes the ultimate means of survival for Bean as he learns to see hope beyond the immediate circumstances of his life.
