The Kingdom Keepers and their friends discover that Maleficent and the Overtakers are plotting a catastrophic event that could have repercussions far beyond the world of Disney unless they solve a puzzle that is revealed during the Disney Cruise Line's inaugural passage through the Panama Canal.

The Kingdom Keepers, five teens who've been transformed into Holographic Hosts at Florida's Disney World, mount a search for Wayne, their missing Imagineer mentor, and find themselves fighting for their lives in imaginary worlds that have become real.

Thirteen-year-old Finn Whitman and four other young teens have been transformed into holgorams to be guides for visitors to Disney World. When Finn is unexpectedly transported to the Magic Kingdom in his hologram form, Wayne, an Imagineer, tells him that he and the other guides must save the park from the scheming witch Maleficent and the Overtakers.
