Meet Jamie, a child that does not appear to fit in anyplace. Jamie is shy and awkward, and he is always in his own world. Mummy's distrust of strangers makes it difficult for her to assist him.
Jamie's life is turned upside down one day when he unintentionally boards an MRT bound for Imagination Station, a place where only imaginary companions travel.
When the train is stranded, Jamie is lost and out of his comfort zone, and he must find his own way home.
