After meeting a strange dwarf in his garage and finding out his substitute English teacher is a witch, Sam Baron travels through a stonefire to the magical realm of Orkney, where he finally learns the truth about his past: his mother is a witch and his father is a descendant of the Norse god, Odin. Now, it's up to him to save his friends and all of Orkney from a cursed red sun.
