The show tells the story of Emma Swan (Jennifer Morrison), who is told by the boy she gave up for adoption that she is the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming, prophesied to save the residents of Storybrooke, Maine from the Evil Queen’s curse. Everyone in the town is, in truth, a classic fairy tale character cursed to live in our world, with no memory of who they really are … and no more “happy endings.

Hopefully the rest of the world will get to see this series soon!
