The Ashton family struggles to deal with the harsh realities of the Second World War as their sons are sent away to fight. Those who remain at home in Liverpool live in constant fear of a knock on the door with a telegram from the War Office or the Luftwaffe bombs overhead as they sleep at night.

All Ell wants is for a hero to come and kill him so that he can finally lead a peaceful life after his death. Just when it seems like he might get his wish, he accidentally kills the hero who came to end his life. And... small change of plan: if there are no heroes to kill him, he can raise one himself! Thus, Ell the dragon, Lafi the magician and Dino the baby hero become an unconventional family. However, Ell soon discovers that teaching fighting moves to a baby is harder than he thought!
