| | Synopsis
|
Jake Simmons hates his new home. The Regency, as grand as it
sounds, is nothing more than floor after floor of peeling wallpaper
and faded glory. Jake misses his old life: he misses living in a
house where the wind didn't make the windows whistle, he misses when
his mother was employed and in a loving relationship, but most of
all, he misses his friends. And so, it is loneliness and a trail of
misplaced kittens that leads Jake to the apartment of an elderly
lady, then to the bowels of the building, and then to a part-time job
helping Larry the custodian. Time may not have been kind to the
Regency, but with each passing day, the Regency reveals more of its
mysteries to Jake and the occupants grow on him too. Jake finally
begins to feel at home. Unfortunately, it is a short-lived feeling.
The city's plans to demolish the building come as a monumental
shock-though it is nowhere near as shocking as being summoned to the
out-of-bounds apartment 713 and literally opening the door to the
past! This fantastical happenstance serves as a second chance, both
for Jake and the Regency, to rewrite their future. Alongside Beth,
his new friend and guide, Jake begins looking for any clue that might
help him save the Regency and go back to his own time. It isn't until
he truly opens his eyes to the wonders of the building and its
occupants that Jake is made to realize: the Regency is not just a
home, but a haven. And something in its storied past will give him
the key to saving his own future.
