Giocia Terra

Have you ever imagined being whisked away to a far away land just when your life has met an unfortunate downfall?
A world where the sun kisses the moon and night and day never end, rather sit hand and hand? A land full of strange people, carnivals, zoos and anything your heart can think of? A place full of happiness, adventure, love and even your occasional tragedy if you wish it so? And the best part of this fantasy land is that it's only a few steps away from your window seal?

That's a place Neiellie often dreamt of.

After losing her mother at the age of five, Neiellie and her Nanny Annette often day-dreamed of such a place, where the people you lost are there waiting for you to find them. As if an answer to her prayers, on one faithful night after her father announces his engagement to a young french woman, two strange men step from the trees and offer Neiellie a never-ending trip to a land called Giocia Terra, where the young girl can have whatever her heart desires. Without hesitation, Neiellie accepts and is led through the woods to the land she's always dreamt of. The only thing they didn't tell her was that this place she's always dreamt of...this place that looks so cheery....really holds dark secrets that could very well be the end of the child's life.
