After years of wondering what happened to her fiance, Will, Marianna is thrilled when she discovers his message in a bottle. She hires a ship and crew and sets sail to find him. A storm washes her up on an island called Neverland. It's magical and beautiful, like something from a dream, and best of all, Will is living there.
But it isn't a friendly place, and she's kidnapped soon after arriving by a strange boy named Peter. He clouds her memories with exciting outings and romantic gestures. Then a glimpse of Will breaks her from Peter's trance and she escapes. However, Peter doesn't give up easily, and he's planning to keep Marianna there forever.
On the run from Peter's soldiers, Marianna learns the residents of the island are in turmoil, tormented by Peter and his minions. No one wants to go up against him. She finally meets a friend who is willing to help, and they devise a plan. Marianna must confront a being feared by everyone on the island in hopes of uncovering a way to stop Peter, so she can return home with Will. If she fails, Peter will destroy her along with everyone else on the island.
