Synopsis

Peter, a mischievous and dangerous boy with sparkling gold eyes, lures lonely, lost children to a secret land where magic thrives and they never age. This isn't the Neverland of stories, but a darker, more disturbing faerieland. Fourteen-year-old Nick, saved by Peter from drug dealers, follows him into a swirling mist, seeking refuge from his dangerous life in New York City. He soon finds himself on a ravaged island, unwittingly recruited into a centuries-old war where he must fight to survive.
