A Midsummer Night's Dream retold as a short story follows Hermia and Lysander, two lovers who flee Athens to escape a law that would condemn Hermia to death for refusing her father's chosen husband. Their flight into a moonlit forest sets off a chain of magical disasters when the mischievous fairy Puck mistakenly enchants the wrong sleeping lovers with a spell that makes them fall for whoever they first see upon waking. Jealousy, quarreling, and confusion spiral between four young mortals — while the Fairy Queen herself falls hopelessly in love with a man wearing a donkey's head.
