Emma Swan ist eine toughe, aber auch einsame Frau. Ihr Leben ändert sich schlagartig, als sie dem zehnjährigen Henry begegnet. Er behauptet, ihr Sohn zu sein, den sie kurz nach der Geburt zur Adoption freigegeben hat. Henry bittet sie, mit in seine Heimatstadt Storybrooke zu kommen und ihn vor dem Zugriff seiner bösen Stiefmutter zu bewahren. Als wäre das nicht genug beteuert er, dass es in Storybrooke nicht mit rechten Dingen zugehe. Die Einwohner der Stadt seien allesamt verfluchte Märchenfiguren, die sich an ihr Leben in der Märchenwelt jedoch nicht mehr erinnern können. Emma glaubt dem Jungen kein Wort, doch in Storybrooke angekommen, stellt sie schnell fest, dass dort tatsächlich Seltsames vor sich geht...

Viele Märchen beschließen ihre Geschichte mit „ …und sie lebten vergnügt bis an ihr Ende …“ – doch das ist eine Lüge, denn die Wirklichkeit sieht ganz anders aus! Tatsächlich hat der Fluch einer bösen Königin alle Happy Ends vernichtet und alle bekannten Märchenfiguren – von Snow White bis Rumpelstilzchen – in die beschauliche Kleinstadt Storybrooke versetzt. Möglichkeiten, sich aus dieser Situation zu befreien, haben die Figuren nicht, da sie ihre Erinnerungen an ihre Märchenexistenz verloren haben und somit ahnungslos vor sich hin leben. Hilfe erhalten sie von einem verträumten Jungen und dessen misstrauischer Mutter.
