Swing Island is no longer what it used to be, when on one drizzly morning a colony vessel drops off a mysterious fairy called Viola at the pier. Wearing a crown, the new arrival fascinates everyone.
The net of lies ensnares Viola in curious encounters with the island folk, and flatterers start encircling her. Does the fairy girl dare to be herself anymore? Can she keep up the facade?
From the lookout post up in a tree, a shy fairy boy called Daniel observes how things evolve, while writing a script for a play. In the Villa Theater, Viola will have a big role to play.

Keinusaari ei ole enää entisensä, kun yhteysalus jättää laiturille salaperäisen Viola-keijun. Kruunupäinen tulija kiehtoo kaikkien mieltä, ja huhut alkavat levitä.
Valheiden verkko kietoo Violan outoihin tilanteisiin saaren väen kanssa, ja mielistelijät alkavat piirittää häntä. Uskaltaako keijutyttö enää olla oma itsensä? Kauanko kulissit kestävät?
Ujo keijupoika Taneli kirjoittaa majassaan vaahteran latvassa näytelmää ja seuraa tilanteen kehittymistä. Huvilateatterin esityksessä myös Violalla tulee olemaan suuri rooli.
