- Origins
- This is a story that every child would have heard a version of at their hearthside over 2000 years ago. It is the story of the spring's sun over winter. This is a contemporary version for this generation to enjoy.
- Synopsis
- Jack has been training for three years for something and just near the end of his training he is woken in the middle of the night. Then he with his brothers Haw and Rowan are sent on a pointless epic journey without provisions and told not to steal. As they progress Jack's companions grow disillusioned with Jack. Will Jack come up to the mark? What and where are they really going.
