Alice comes from a long line of warriors who battle Nightmares in the dark and terrifying dream realm known as Wonderland. When her trainer, the handsome but enigmatic Hatta, is inflicted with the madness, Alice must embark on a dangerous journey - deeper into Wonderland than she has ever gone before.
