The show tells the story of an orphaned boy named James who is sent to live with his wicked, cruel aunts after the death of his parents. James is forced into servitude and directed to chop down an old peach tree. While performing this task, James comes upon a book of magic potions and, at the urging of the mysterious Ladahlord, James picks a potion and the thrilling tale of his magical journey is set in motion. James encounters some unlikely insects who inhabit the peach tree which have transformed, along with the peach, into human sized adventurers with James.
