A thousand years ago, there was a warrior princess named Gretta, who had a lot of enemies but not a lot of allies. To protect her, Baldric, her court magician, cast a spell to put her and all her fantasy foes to sleep until a champion would come along and wake her with a kiss. Unfortunately that champion ends up being Dwight, a sensitive teenage boy from the 21st century with all the fighting skills of a wet bag, whose AccidentalKiss awakens the princess and binds him to be her protector.
