In this flashback tale, Victorian teenager Alice retreats into the book of 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' gifted to her by Lewis Carroll, whose magical world becomes a solace from her troubled home life. Yet, the Wonderland described in the pages of her book is not the same as the one she discovers whilst dreaming by the riverbank when she accidentally falls into the rabbit hole and meets an unexpected stranger who encourages her to liberate herself from her surroundings using the power of imagination and the madness of Wonderland.
