Once upon a time,
That boy was sent away. He lived on a farm, where his duties increased and his temper did too.
Once upon a time,

Adi Morris has fire. Peter Pan likes fire. But she's prepared to use that fire against him if it means keeping her freedom. Adi has never been one to follow the rules, and not even a manipulative boy determined to make her fall to him is going to change that. None of it should be real, but Neverland is a fairy tale that begins to feel like home. And it doesn't take long for the island's malicious nature to do what it does best. After all, evil isn't born. It's made.
