The Dark Man has been captured by the Shadow Masters.

He hangs from a tree in a mysterious garden, his power drained.

There is nothing he can do to break free. But in the moonlight, something moves. It is Claire. She has the power to turn moonlight into sunshine and bring the garden to life.

But are her powers strong enough to defeat the evil of the shadow masters?
