Standing atop the rusty green dumpster behind his orphanage on the night of a full harvest moon, a lonely, abandoned teenage boy meets the beautiful, mysterious moon spirit girl who’s been haunting his dreams. When he reluctantly agrees to guard the magical Orb she’s fleeing with, the mischievous and powerful object turns his world upside down.
