As his own thirtieth birthday looms, the discovery of an enormous skeleton and the abrupt appearance of an enigmatic woman who alleges an old acquaintance with the giant, throws Jack's life into a spiral of uncertainty. This newfound knowledge catapults Jack into a world beyond his own, where he learns the startling truth behind the beloved tale of Jack and the Beanstalk.
