This is a mesmerizing adventure
about the power of ‘story’. Two
seemingly unrelated stories - one in words, the other in pictures come together
with seamless, ingenious synergy! We
open in 1766 with a visual story: Young Billy Marvel becomes the lone survivor
of a shipwreck. Returned to London, he grows up in a theatre,
where we follow the dramatic trials and triumphs of his progeny over five
generations. We cut to 1990 with a
narrative story: Lost and alone, and on the brink of expulsion from yet another
boarding school, Joseph impulsively runs away to search for his best friend. He
finds himself swept up with an erratic man in a strange and beautiful house full
of secrets-secrets that compel Joseph on a treasure hunt.
