Jack Dante LaBanks and the BeanStalk

The lure of hidden treasures in unusual places unleashes the potential to acquire a desired life of wealth, love, and security.

Jack, a poor twenty-year-old man from the country, and his mother are on the verge of losing the farm due to economic hardship. Jack trades the family cow to a strange man for five magical beans, which grow into an enormous beanstalk leading above the clouds. He climbs the beanstalk in search of a treasure to save him and his mother from doom.

He reaches the City of Zephys, located in the Yagenoc Heights District, and discovers a secluded mansion of man-eating giants, Darius and his beautiful wife, Naomi.

Naomi, a talented songstress, suffers from the abuse of her asthmatic, gargantuan husband and seeks to find freedom from physical and mental captivity. She has the power within her to be free but must release it.

A mutual fondness grows deeper between Jack and Naomi with each visit he makes to the Yagenoc Heights District home where Naomi feeds him home-cooked meals. In the giant’s house, he finds various treasures he steals from Darius and ends up escaping with the one real treasure that will change his life forever.

The giant, Darius, pursues Jack for stealing away into the night with his most prized possession. Will the giant reclaim his hold on Naomi, or will she and Jack find a happy ever after ending?
