A visually sumptuous, surreal fantasy adventure that blends whimsy with genuine peril, centered on a teenage girl's journey through a magical labyrinth to rescue her brother and grow up.

Frustrated with babysitting on yet another weekend night, Sarah, a teenager with an active imagination, summons the Goblins to take her baby stepbrother away. When little Toby actually disappears, Sarah must follow him into a fantastical world to rescue him from the Goblin King. Guarding his castle is the labyrinth itself, a twisted maze of deception, populated with outrageous characters and unknown dangers.
