The play begins when George and Nico meet at Nico's place in Paris. But their peaceful afternoon is soon shattered by the harrowing news that Nico's father has been kidnapped. Together, they head to the scene of the crime and soon discover that a mysterious sect is behind the kidnappings, seeking the Dragon Mirror, a secret treasure chest that is said to contain powerful objects. George and Nico find themselves in a deep jungle, where their only goal will be to help the aforementioned father and prevent the evil plan of the cultists.
