Alex Wilson thinks she is an average suburban girl living in Melbourne, until her 16th birthday. An exotic visitor, Kuru, shows up in her backyard with a magical elephant, Anala and informs her she is in fact the heir to the throne of a magical kingdom, Manjipoor. With his help, the reluctant princess must master her magic powers and defend her royal inheritance against her devious cousin, Vashan whilst balancing the pull of both worlds to find her true destiny. In the second season Alex and her family have moved to the Gold Coast. Her friend Amanda has followed her there, where they plan to find a new drummer for their band.

Season two began screening in July 2011 and also consists of 26 episodes.
