Ogre
"Ogre" is a tale about three hearts. In a deep, dark wood, there lives an Ogre. Shunned by society, and with good reason, he lives a solitary life.

A wise girl, searching for her foolish brother, teaches Ogre how powerful love is when she trades her heart for her brother's. In searching to find a new heart for the girl, Ogre finds brotherhood, friendship, and a 'found family'.
