In 1913, in Ireland, the young Emily Desmond is convinced she has met fairies, while her father tries to build a machine to establish contact with extraterrestrials. In the 1930s, a waitress named Jessica Caldwell begins encountering strange phenomena in real-life Dublin and concludes that her fantasies tend to take physical form. At the same time, two mysterious strangers arrive in the city, with a mission: to protect our world from visitors from outside. In the late 1980s, Enya McCall, an employee of an advertising agency, uses her supernatural abilities to destroy monsters—embodiments of human nightmares and fantasies. Three times, three stories, three heroines and their encounters with the dark side of human myth-making, as well as the secrets of their own past. But the world of legends and the world of fairies are deceptive, and no one can be trusted in attempts to break free from its clinging grip.
