The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn live in a small town on the Mississippi River above St. Louis. Tom is raised by his Aunt Polly, with whom he lives together with his brother Sid. Huckleberry, known as Huck, is homeless and does not go to school—his father is an alcoholic and has been missing for some time, with many believing him to be dead. But Tom and Huck are friends—and will remain so, come what may.

Darclée
Darclee is a lead singer for an opera company in Romania with a heavy load of responsibility. It seems the company is in dire need of a decent physical structure for their performances and a brace -- or more -- of good singers to improve their image and sales. In other words, they need just about everything except an excellent lead singer; Darclee fills that bill. And so the company rather unfairly leans on her to get the people and the funds they so desperately want.
