Since awakening as a fairy, Lichesia the Enchantress was constantly on the run from fairy hunters wanting to sell her. Now, hoping to learn who was really behind the hunters, she poses as 5-year-old Chesha to infiltrate the mysterious House Basillian... by getting adopted! But Count Basillian and his three sons are a peculiar bunch, and while they spoil Chesha, the count seems to be plotting something sinister. Can the Enchantress get her revenge and make it out of this strange house alive?
