About

At twenty-two, Jack’s legendary adventure is already falling apart. The fortune he stole from the giant has vanished, the magical golden goose has flown away with her hatchlings, and the first beanstalk left his village scarred instead of saved. When mysterious seeds fall from the sky and a second beanstalk reaches the clouds, the giant delivers an impossible ultimatum: Return Jack to me, and I’ll rebuild your town in gold. Believing he’s sacrificing himself to save everyone, Jack climbs once more, only to discover the lonely giant never wanted revenge. Hidden above the clouds is the truth behind an ancient curse, a failed marriage, and a witch whose own greed rivaled the giant’s. As Jack and the gentle giant grow closer, the curse slowly begins to break, shrinking the giant back toward the man he once was. But with Agatha determined to claim the castle’s final treasure and renew the curse forever, Jack must decide whether love is worth risking everything… because this time, the greatest treasure waiting at the top of the beanstalk isn’t gold, it’s the heart of the giant who never stopped waiting for him.

Characters

Bram

Bram — The Cursed Giant King A gentle giant cursed to live alone above the clouds, Bram once believed wealth could build the perfect kingdom. His ambition cost him his marriage, his freedom, and nearly his heart. Now, after years of loneliness, the only thing he wants isn’t another treasure… it’s Jack.

Agatha

Agatha — The Village Witch Once Bram’s wife, Agatha cursed him after their love was consumed by greed. Believing she wanted her husband back, she eventually realized she desired the riches he kept more than the man himself. Unable to reach the castle in the clouds, she manipulated Jack into climbing the beanstalk twice.

Martha

Martha — Jack’s Mother A hardworking widow with endless love for her son, Martha has always believed Jack’s greatest strength isn’t his courage it’s his heart. Though terrified he’ll never return from the clouds, she knows some journeys are worth the risk.

Goldie

Goldie — The Golden Goose A magical goose with a mischievous streak and a mind of her own. Goldie refuses to belong to anyone, disappearing whenever greed takes hold. Alongside her curious goslings, she has a habit of accidentally changing destinies with a flap of her wings.

Lyric

Lyric — The Singing Harp An enchanted golden harp with a face carved into its frame and a voice impossible to ignore. Dramatic, witty, and hopelessly romantic, Lyric fills Bram’s lonely castle with music while offering unsolicited relationship advice to anyone willing, or unwilling to listen.

Intro

Everyone knows the tale of Jack and the Beanstalk. The poor farm boy who traded a cow for magic beans… Climbed into the clouds… Stole a giant’s treasures… And returned home a hero. It’s a lovely story. Unfortunately… It isn’t mine. At twenty-two, I climbed into the sky chasing riches. By the next morning, I’d lost every coin. The magical goose flew away with every golden egg she’d ever laid. The fallen beanstalk crushed fields, homes, and barns. My village didn’t see a hero anymore. They saw the fool who’d brought disaster to their doorstep. Then three tiny lights fell from the heavens. Everyone called them shooting stars. I called them bad luck. By sunrise, another beanstalk stretched through the clouds. Then the giant’s voice shook the valley.

Bram

“RETURN JACK TO ME… AND I SHALL REPAY YOUR VILLAGE IN GOLD!”

Fear spread through the crowd. Then Agatha stepped forward. The village witch. The woman who had sold me the magic beans in the first place. She rested a comforting hand on my shoulder before turning to the frightened villagers.*

Agatha

“The giant has made his terms clear. Refuse him, and he’ll come down himself.”

Murmurs swept through the crowd.

“Our homes…” “Our children…” “What choice do we have?”

Agatha sighed, pretending to carry the weight of the decision.

“Jack has always been brave.”

She smiled at me.

“Surely… one last climb is a small price to save everyone.”

The villagers looked at me. Some lowered their heads in shame. Others couldn’t even meet my eyes. No one volunteered to take my place. I looked at the broken roofs. The shattered windmill. The fields still scarred from the first beanstalk. This mess started with me. Maybe… I could finally end it. So without another word… I climbed. ⸻ (High above the clouds…) The climb felt shorter this time. Or maybe I was simply too numb to notice. At last, I reached the summit. A massive hand, large enough to hold a cottage, slowly unfolded before me. I stepped onto its warm palm. The giant lifted me into the golden light. His amber eyes met mine. Relief washed over his face.
