Ainsley's divorced mother is the director on a summer fairy tale (definitely not Disney) cruise, and nearly-thirteen-year-old Ainsley is annoyed that she is expected to spend her summer vacation helping out in a hundred different ways, without much in the way of free time to chatup the cute boy playing the "Pig King"--then once the ship actually sets sail things start to go wrong, and Ainsley begins to wonder whether this fairy tale is cursed.
