When one villain decides to take away the joy of life from children all over the world, a group of superheroes come together to try to stop him. Its members are truly legendary. They accompany each of us since childhood, but no one has probably thought that those who give children joy can also give blows. Their boss is Santa. Not only does he have elves, but also a bunch of snowmen. His fragile counterpart is the Tooth Fairy with her army of mini-fairies. The party is then completed by the Easter Bunny and the silent Sandman. They all make children's lives more pleasant, whether they bring them gifts for Christmas, exchange lost teeth for money, hide Easter eggs or put them to sleep every night and give them nice dreams as a bonus. But "Pitch Black" spoils the ubiquitous idyll. Such a monster that hides on the concrete under the bed or in the closet and brings only nightmares to sleeping children. And this Scarecrow decides to cut off Easter, Christmas and trade with baby teeth. The Guardians soon realize that they are not enough to take on this enemy alone and call in Jack Frost. Unfortunately, the smiling boy who teases people with frosty paintings on windows and ice in the middle of the city does not want to save the world. He is annoyed that, unlike his colleagues, the children do not believe in him. The question is what happens when, under the influence of nightmares, children stop believing in their existence.
