Gerda and her mother take in a penniless beggar boy, Kay, and powerful forces take both children on a magical journey, testing their friendship to the extreme along the way. Kay goes missing, so with faith, love, and courage, Gerda goes to find him.
Nothing is quite as it seems in this lush retelling of Dickens' classic coming-of-age story with colorful characters: conspirators, rogues, rakes, and wretches.
