With his mom missing, his dad long gone, and the family apartment burned down, 12 year-old BILLY LAWRENCE finds himself at “Looney” Lovett Manor, a haunted looking foster home that stands atop a seaside cliff.Run by the eccentric EVELYN LOVETT, who has a different outfit for every occasion, Billy’s only other companion is a very bossy SARAH, Evelyn’s 10 year-old niece. With Evelyn’s stories about invisible worlds, white suits and her insistence that Billy has been chosen as the next Defender of Nede, Billy is convinced Evelyn is crazy.But when he finds a key amongst the few possessions left to him by his grandfather, Sarah insists that it is a sign and they must search for the lock that will fit the key.They climb up an old tree house on the property and the key fits in the lock. As they step through the door, they’re immediately transported into Evelyn’s “invisible world.”They’re greeted by TRICK, a streetwise kid who tells them the only way home is to meet the King of Nede. It’s a journey fraught with danger, because the evil PRINCE GOTH and his grotesque IMPS will do everything in their power to capture them.Billy is furious. All he wants to do is go home and search for his mother. Trick’s not too impressed with Billy, either. But knowing the dangers that lay ahead of them, and wanting to protect Sarah, Trick offers to take them as far as The Golden Bridge. Attacked by Goth and his Imps, Billy, Trick and Sarah are forced to work together and a grudging respect and friendship develops.When Billy and Sarah finally reach the king, Billy must make the choice to accept his destiny. But in order to fulfill his new role and fully engage in the great adventure called life, he must first find the part of himself he abandoned years ago.
