In the sleepy English countryside at the dawn of the
Victorian era lies the village of Wall - a secluded hamlet
that derives its name from an imposing stone barrier that
surrounds a fertile grassland. The lesiurely pace in Wall is
disrupted only once every nine years as the mortal and
magical meer upon the meadow for a market fair like no other.
It is here in Wall that young Tristan Thorn loses his heart
to the town beauty - a woman who is as cold and distant as
the star she and Tristan see fall from the sky on a crisp
October evening. To gain the hand of his beloved, Tristan
rashly vows to fetch the fallen star and embarks upon a
lover's quest that willl carry him over the ancient wall and
into a world beyond his wildest imaginings...
