Jalen Banneker has a confidence problem ... as in, too much of it. But what his friends don't know is that it's all an act, hiding years of self-doubt.

But when an evil monster kidnaps his friend, Jalen must overcome his fears as he travels to a mystical world where he'll have to defeat the monster, break an ancient curse, save his friend and find his way back home in time for dinner.
