When the evil Queen of Love, Amor, steals Hook's brother, Romp, away to be her betrothed, the under-experienced and uncertain boy embarks on a quest across dangerous lands to stop the wedding and rescue his brother. Along the way he meets the Northerner, Collon, who has a vision of his own quest and joins Hook. Their quest will yield revelations for the boys, as well as the world around them, but will it be enough to end the evil Queen's reign?

This show contains themes of danger, death, and violence. A prop resembling a firearm is present but not fired.
