      One magical relic. Two brothers. Three chances to defy fate.

      Peter and his half-brother Adrian live in the shadow of Old Splinter - the ruined mansion on the hill where stories of dark magic swirl. Peter's stepdad is at his wit's end trying to renovate the place and cracks are starting to show in their once-happy family.

      Desperate to bring their family back together, the brothers set out in search of the legendary wishing claw. But wishes are tricky things - as Peter discovers when something monstrous comes knocking at his door.
