Holly is a lonely 10-year old orphan living in a lighthouse with her overbearing twin brother, desperate to be part of a real family full of fun and adventure.  

She’d really like to be part of Walter’s 52-strong rabbit family next door. But Walter is feeling the weight of family responsibility on his shoulders and has his own dreams of a different life through the comic adventures of a Chivalrous Knight in the graphic novel he reads. 

One fateful day Holly witnesses an accident on the nearby busy road. Walter is hit by a car. Remarkably he appears unhurt but he’s lost his memory. 

Holly comes to the rescue but soon sees an opportunity to feed a lie – Walter is Holly’s adopted father and they are on an adventure. But the lie quickly escalates and Walter’s deep down desires of his own adventures takes on a twist as he convinces himself he is “Sir Balderdash” the dashing knight from his favourite comic books. 

So, the questing begins but this is not a comic book and reckless adventuring has consequences.
