Mia loves stories and her big brother Levin. But recently something about him does not seem right. Eight-year-old Mia has to come to terms with the fact that she does not help her drug-addicted brother by giving him what he craves. In her attempt to save Levin she faces the horrifying Minotaur in the Labyrinth of Crete. Reality and fantasy begin to blend creating a fantastic adventure, far greater than the little heroine could have known.
