As a kid, hers was a dark fairy tale established against a wonderland of dazzling white snow, with the warm shine of candlelit holy day lanterns keeping the shadows away. Back then, there is innocence. And now she'll do anything to come back. The Kingdom of Years as a child is the storyplot of a youngster and a female: 16-year-old Zach Patterson, uprooted and struggling to reconcile his understanding of his mother's extramarital affair, and Judy McFarland, a kindergarten professor seeing her family unravel before her eye. Thrown together to organize a fundraiser for their failing private college and bonded by loneliness, they get started an affair that at first thrills, then corrupts all of them. Judy sees in Zach the elements of a man she loved as a kid, but what Zach does not realize is that their relationship is-for Judy-only the latest in an eternity of disturbing secrets. As the surfaces close in, Zach discovers himself needing to disentangle from premature adulthood. But the lines between adult and child have blurred, and life and sanity are unraveling faster and further than anyone could ever have imagined.
