Tress has always lived on her barren island in the midst of the emerald green sea. A place where the most exciting things are the cups that Tress collects, brought to her by sailors from distant lands. Her favorite pastime is listening to the stories of her friend Charlie, who is slowly becoming more than just a friend to her. When Charlie disappears during a dangerous journey, Tress decides to take her fate into her own hands and sets out to rescue her beloved. Numerous dangers await her – including pirates, foreign deadly seas, and an evil witch. Will Tress rise to the occasion and be able to save her great love?
