"Once Upon a Time" tells the story of a new world, one in which fairy-tale legends and modern life collide. Emma Swan (Teresa Palmer) is comfortable in her life as a bail bonds collector when Henry (Noah Schnapp)-- the child she gave up a decade earlier -- suddenly shows up. He is convinced that she is the daughter of Snow White (Melissa Benoist) and Prince Charming (Chris Wood), who sent her away before the Evil Queen (Marisol Nichols) could cast a spell, freezing the fairytale world in time and bringing them to present-day Storybrooke, Maine. After taking Henry home, Emma decides to stay in the town to keep an eye on him, and she discovers he may not be wrong after all.
