Finn and his four companions find themselves transported to July 1955, standing in Walt Disney's newly opened theme park. The Kingdom Keepers have been sent back sixty years to retrieve a powerful pen that once protected the Disney parks from destruction. But their mission quickly becomes complicated when they discover the early origins of the Tower of Terror and encounter the first Overtakers, Disney villains who threaten everything Walt built. The teenagers visit Walt's private hilltop residence and witness the park's chaotic opening day reception, all while being cut off from their friends in the present. Meanwhile, three young women called the Fairlies work within Disney's School of Imagineering, wielding extraordinary abilities of their own. When the Fairlies uncover a dangerous secret that has been hidden for decades, both groups face threats that could destroy their friends and demolish Walt Disney's entire legacy. Magic proves more real and more perilous than anyone expected.
