Apartment building superintendent Cleveland Heep rescues what he thinks is a young woman from the pool he maintains. When he discovers that she is actually a character from a bedtime story who is trying to make the journey back to her home, he works with his tenants to protect his new friend from the creatures that are determined to keep her in our world.
Yes. Cleveland swims into the pool to find Story’s temporary home. Once he is inside, the handle to the door breaks when he tries to leave causing him to find every little bit of air trapped inside some glasses he finds in Story’s home (basically struggles to find air to breathe). After he finally gets out and resurfaces from the pool he gasps and struggles to breathe.
