Synopsis: Lucas moves with his mother to a new town and desperately tries to fit in. After being thrown out of class, he visits the local mage and discovers the Book of Shadows, which reveals people’s true shadows—including his own, the Shadow Mage. Frightened, Lucas drives his Shadow away, only to learn that without it he will die before sunrise.
To get it back, Lucas must embrace the very qualities he once tried to reject. Through courage and imagination, he defeats the terrifying giant Otto and returns home transformed—not just a dreamer anymore, but the town’s new mage.
