So begins the journey around the world in eighty days – but the question is, can Fogg possibly win the wager? They find themselves in the midst of riots, on the run from the police, flying hot air balloons, crossing deserts and oceans. And to Fogg's dismay, he realizes that headstrong journalist Abigail Fix is going with them to chronicle the journey – seeing as how her article inspired the original wager. Fogg is accompanied by quick-witted valet Passepartout, who has managed to convince Fogg they've never met before despite serving him his lunch at the Reform Club. So much so, that the usual teasing at the hands of Bellamy provokes Fogg into undertaking a wager – to travel around the world in eighty days. But when he receives a hand-delivered postcard, with only the word 'COWARD' written on the back, it turns his world upside down. Phileas Fogg lives a comfortable but utterly unfulfilling life in London, spending every day at his club with his friends Fortescue and Bellamy. Get ready to set sail in the hot air balloon with Phileas Fogg, Passepartout and Fix in a brand-new adaptation of Jules Verne's.
