Do dreams of the heart ever really die? The ghost of Grandpa Red knows they don' t. He knows his height-challenged grandson Charlie dreams of playing power forward for the Detroit Pistons, while his granddaughter Annie wishes to perform in The Nutcracker Ballet. And as Charlie and Annie discover, there's both a delightful dimension in time where all things are possible and a separate dark and dismal netherworld where abandoned dreams linger until reclaimed by those who dreamed them. But while Charlie vows to " Never give up! No matter what!" Annie is injured, loses hope, and finds herself in the Land of Half Dreams. Unless she can recapture her dream, the best part of herself will be lost forever.
