When he is diagnosed with an illness called dementia, he has to go to a special place to be looked after. While visiting her grandpa there, Kimy Rose and her friend Mikey discover a magical land called The Land of the Rose Gardens, which helps them to make sense of it all. With the help of the magical creatures that live there, they also go on a special quest to create The Land of the Sunflowers.
