Take her hand. Jump into Wonderland. Fall in love. Save the planets. And learn how to live.
Upon the recent passing of Noah's mother, a long-lost relative invites him to dinner with her fiancé to reconnect. On the night they're supposed to meet, he stops by his mother's gravesite. There, by chance, he meets Celeste. They start a casual conversation that he thinks could lead to a date--and then she tells him their planets are set to collide.
Wait. Their planets?!
Suddenly burdened with the knowledge that not only are there other planets, but that his was crashing into hers, she asks if he'd like to help. And, well, how could he say no to saving the planet, much less two?
Jump into an Alice in Wonderland-inspired sci-fi world with Noah, Celeste, and his long-lost cousin (and her fiancé!) in an action-packed, whimsical adventure with plenty of sarcasm, mystical creatures and romantic tension!
