When Layla meets a handsome, dark-haired man named Jack on the beach while visiting her family cottage with her parents, she knows he seems familiar but she can't quite place him. He seems to know a lot more about her than she knows about him, and something about him seems otherworldly. With his mysterious aura and twinkling charm, Jack convinces Layla to enter the world of Faerie through a portal at the bottom of a nearby pond. There, he tries to enlist her help in battling an evil force called the Dark Ones, while teaching her things about herself she never thought possible.
