Embark on a journey of love, laughter and loss as five boys fight and charm their way across an original fantasy world filled with marvelous machines and uncanny beasts. Despair with them as they are presented insurmountable obstacles and celebrate with them when they vault over the same.

Destinations like a cave that gobbles up a person's future, a river that hides a gigantic beast, or a Kingdom that has been overtaken by monsters.
