Twelve-year-old Gan dreams of becoming a Lamplighter, one of the young heroes with their flaming spears who light the city's streetlamps and keep the darkness at bay.

Gan vows to get him back, but his only remaining companion is Lyona, the ill-tempered daughter of the city's most notorious miscreant. Together, they must cross enchanted forests, befriend magical beings, and battle viscous creatures, until they reach the palace of the evil Fairy Empress Nymia, whom the vexors serve.
