Phoenix, though entirely blameless, bears the weight of his twin sister's untimely demise at birth, perceiving himself as cursed. The confirmation of this notion arrives in the form of a family tragedy on each of his leap-year birthdays.

On his twelfth birthday, Phoenix's ill-fate culminates in a near-death experience, as he becomes trapped in a raging fire. While unconscious in this earthly realm, his story unfolds in another world—an island called Lila. Here, he encounters Maya, his twin sister, who becomes his steadfast guide across the enigmatic island. However, it becomes apparent that the entire island is plagued by an enigmatic curse, casting Phoenix into a series of challenging situations. He bravely confronts a heart-devouring beast, rescues a young boy named Karun from certain death, and endeavors to bring him to safety.

During his arduous journey, Phoenix stumbles upon a storybook about Lila, which reveals a captivating tale of a mermaid named Marina. Soon, the two worlds converge, and Marina guides Phoenix deeper into the heart of the island, where he must embark on a perilous mission to save Karun and awaken himself from his coma, all while striving to return to the real world alive.
