The story
Within the weathered walls of a once-magnificent kingdom, a war is brewing. The old guard desperately clutches to their lost power while the spirited Bronx movement rises from the streets. In the shadows, the court jester Mr. Fleur dreams of ascending to the empty throne. But among the court's crumbling grandeur, ethereal Angels carry the promise of change. As their celestial grace mingles with the revolution, a new dawn begins to break over the kingdom.
