The Premise: Artemis Fowl's mother contracts a life-threatening illness, and the only hope for a cure lies in the brain fluid of the silky sifaka lemur.

The Mission: To save his mother, Artemis must enlist the aid of his fairy friends, including Holly Short, to travel back in time and save the lemur species.
The Conflict: In a twist, he must battle his younger, more villainous self, as the young Artemis was a "pretty terrible human being" and his own worst enemy.
