A helpless young girl alone on the Dark Continent. She doesn't speak the language, she knows no one and her family is far across the ocean. Being kept in a hellish underground prison, she knows there is no hope of rescue or escape. In addition to all her troubles, no fresh air is coming into the well-sealed prison.

With nothing to do and no air coming in, she only has her imagination and her dreams.
