A modern adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's 1886 Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Jacqueline "Jackie" is just  poor old lady living in a dreary nursing home and is known by her granddaughter Lilly for all the silly made up stories she tells whenever Lilly visits. Lilly is just a twelve year old little spitfire that seems to have a never ending imagination, claiming that her grandmother's stories may have some truth to them, and that the so called fictional characters might actually be wandering the halls of the nursing home, somehow undetected by the staff and other nursing home residents. Everyone, including Lilly's parents, seem to think Lilly may be spending a little too much time with her grandmother and her grandmother's stories, and think it may be best that Lilly spends some time away from the nursing home. But this could be a mistake, because Lilly has always been known to be an intelligent girl, and she and her grandmother may hold a secret that could change everyone's perception of how the world works. Can Lilly prove that she isn't going crazy and that her grandmother's stories hold more truth than one might want to believe? Or will her parents stop her in her tracks, unaware of the danger they might all be in if they do so?
