Isolated in a bubble-wrap shelter, a boy as fragile as glass spends his days confronting the creatures he imagines.

One day, a girl who has learned to run very fast to escape her hostile home seeks shelter at his. He names her Naïade and invites her on his quest. As their worlds mingle, mythological and everyday monsters overlap. Friendship and poetry become weapons of choice as they confront their fears.
