Two orphaned children are on the run, hiding among the crumbling canals and misty alleyways of the city of Venice.Befriended by a gang of street children and their mysterious leader, the Thief Lord, they shelter in an old, disused cinema.

But a greater threat to the boys' new-found freedom is something from a forgotten past – a beautiful magical treasure with the power to spin time itself.
