Synopsis
Isaiah's life is unravelling: his mum has left, his dad is ill, and eviction looms. While exploring his tower block's basement, he discovers an old fireplace that, when lit, reveals Jacob—a boy from the Victorian era seeking escape from a workhouse. Together, they embark on a time-travelling adventure to solve Jacob's mystery and, in the process, find hope and resilience in their own lives.
