For Edward Swan, life has been anything but a happy ending. But when he's reunited with Henrietta - the daughter he gave up for adoption ten years ago - on the night of his 28th birthday, everything changes. The now 10-year-old Henrietta is in desperate need of Edward's help because she believes from reading a book of fairy-tales that he's the son of Prince Snow and Princess Diana - who sent him away from the Enchanted Forest to be protected from a curse that was enacted by the Evil King. Edward initially refuses to believe a word of Henrietta's story but soon finds that her hometown of Storybrooke, Maine is more than it seems. Because it's in Storybrooke that all of the classic characters we know are frozen in time with no memories of their former selves - except for the Evil King, who is Storybrooke's mayor and Henrietta's adoptive father Reginald Mills. Now, as the epic "Final Battle" for the future of both worlds approaches, Edward will have to accept his destiny and uncover the mystery behind a place where fairy-tales are to be believed.
