The twins Shimmer and Shine are two young bottle spirits ("Dschinnis in training") in the fantasy realm of Zahramay Falls, who fulfill three wishes of their human friend Leah, who she freed from her bottle (in which Zahramay Falls is), every day. Since Shimmer and Shine are still very young, something often goes wrong when fulfilling their wishes, whereupon everyone has to master and resolve the situations that have arisen together. In the first season you have to be careful that Zac, Leah's friend, does not notice anything about the existence of the Djinnis.
