Helen is fed up with life at her parents' circus and desperately wants to get away. One day she loses her temper and wishes her mother dead - and is mortified to see her cruel wish seemingly begin to come true. She realises that she'd do anything to retract her `curse', but instead finds herself thrown suddenly into a surreal landscape that's by turns beautiful, sinister and scary.
