Everyone knows the story of Jack and the beanstalk. Everyone
also knows that Jack's little adventure made him a very rich
man. But what they don't know is what happened a long time
after Jack.... That's where Nick comes in. Orphaned and desperate, Nick
joins a rugged band of thieves in hopes of a warm meal and a
little protection. In exchange Nick must help them break
into the lavish white castle rumored to belong to an old man
named Jack. Legend says it's full of riches from Jack's
quest up a magical beanstalk decades ago. When Nick's dangerous mission leads him straight to Jack, he
sees a chance to climb the famed beanstalk himself. But what
Nick doesn't know is that things are different from when
Jack made his climb. There are new foes at the top now. Ones
with cruel weapons and foul plans -- plans that could
destroy the world as Nick knows it. Will Nick come down the
beanstalk a hero? Will he come down at all?
