At the top of a dusty cellar stairs, two little girls sit listening at a crack in the ceiling. Chloe and Isabella live here beneath the floor, in a cramped and dreadful basement apartment, where they have cared for their sick mother for as long as they can remember - never told what they are hiding from and never allowed to leave.

Each night the girls sneak out to play with, and befriend, the marvelous toys - until they learn why they've been forced to spend their lives in hiding.
