It’s Christmas Eve, and the resident school bully and queen bee had planned to just stay at her house and spend the holiday alone. However, fate has different ideas, as on that Christmas Day sunset accidentally stumbled upon an old antique shop where she bought two objects that caught her interest: a nutcracker and a necklace.

As she bought the two objects, the old man who owned the shop told her the story of the nutcracker. Of how it was once a handsome soldier engaged to a princess of a magical land but was cursed by an evil king called the king of shadows. Sunset didn’t believe it at first. However, that night the shadow king himself arrived at sunset home, and in the battle that followed, sunset was shrunken down.

Now the only way for her to return to normal is to venture into the land of dreams, the nutcracker home world, to defeat the evil king and end his reign of terror.
