Starting in the past and jumping forward by years at a time, this is the story about a girl named Vic and a special ability that she has. Namely, the ability to make a bridge appear that will take her anywhere she wants. Only problem is, she isn't the only one with a special ability. There's this old man, you see, and he drives an old Rolls Royce with license plate NOS4A2. He ain't so nice. He kidnaps children and he takes them to Christmasland. They're never seen again, and their parents are usually found dead.
The story, which spans 20+ years, touches on a variety of themes but it does a particularly good job with loss of innocence and redemption. It's a wild Stephen King-esque ride. You never know where it's going, and where it ends up is completely satisfying (Hint: there is a showdown at the end).
9/10
