In developmentRoya grew up with one paralyzed leg and always wished she was like everybody else. Her fear of being different keeps her isolated, with her cat Truffle acting as her shield. When Truffle disappears, Roya suspects that he was kidnapped but is too afraid to investigate.
During her nightmares about that fateful night, the black sheep Valentino leads her to Sheepland - a magical world of dreams and nightmares, of desires and fears. Here Roya can use both her legs - her biggest wish.
With newfound confidence, Roya sets off on an adventure across other people’s dreams to unravel the mystery of Truffle’s disappearance. To finally get Truffle back, Roya must accept her biggest fear of all – being different.
