Do you have a happy place, where you retreat when life gets tough? Welcome to the world of three sisters in the rural town of Ballyarby. Except it all exists within their front room. With their father Once upon a time, in a faraway land, there lived a giant whose solitude is shattered by an invasion of fairytale characters who’ve been banished from their kingdom by an evil Lord. Determined to save their home — not to mention his — the giant cuts a deal with the Lord and sets out to rescue the princess to be Lord’s bride.
