Something happens to young girls when they reach puberty. It’s as if the influx of hormones is accompanied by an outflow of confidence, courage and creativity.
Sarah Logan has reached that stage and is torn by her decision to apply to a high school for the arts. She thinks that’s what she wants, but she really isn’t sure she’s good enough or even if she’s ready to leave the safety of her known world. Plus, everyone around her has different opinions about whether she should go or stay.
It's a simple story: Sarah has an important decision to make. 
Exhausted and stressed by the challenge of making a difficult, life-altering decision, she escapes into a magical land of mystery, meaning, and mayhem.
In that strange world, Sarah becomes Sarana, the unknown part of herself. She meets gods and goddesses, monsters and spirit guides who challenge her with impossible tasks, but who also teach her to use her voice, her inner wisdom and her creativity. It’s a journey that tests her mettle at every turn.
The biggest challenge is: will she be able to find her way back?
Perhaps it’s not such a simple story after all.
