Brief Synopsis: Foster had what Eden lacked - a true childhood. Now, Foster has to come to terms with that stage of his life ending. In one last-ditch effort to live out their childhood fantasies and escape a world that feels bleak, the two of them fabricate a dreamland of colorful, sugary feasts and a haunting maternal character. This new world forces them question who they are and what they want. If they want to leave, Foster and Eden must face this turning point together.
