As Wendy grapples with the expectations placed upon her by society and family, she finds herself torn between the lure of escape and the responsibilities of the real world. The introduction of a pressing family issue further complicates Wendy's decision, forcing her to confront the harsh realities that often accompany the transition into adulthood.

With a cast of colorful characters, both old and new, Act 1 sets the stage for a journey that promises to test the limits of Wendy's courage, loyalty, and belief in the power of storytelling.
