Alyssa Gardner has the same illness that sent her mother to a mental health facility years prior: whispers of bugs and flowers. Her ancestor Alice Liddell, the real-life model for Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, is the source of this family curse. Even though Alyssa is insane, she maintains her composure. For the time being.
When Alyssa's mother's mental state deteriorates, she discovers that the horrific truth behind what she had previously believed to be fiction exists. Lewis Carroll never gave away how much darker and more twisted the actual Wonderland is. There, Alyssa must pass a series of tests, including draining an ocean of Alice’s tears, waking the slumbering tea party, and subduing a vicious bandersnatch, to fix Alice’s mistakes and save her family. She also has to choose between the handsome guide through Wonderland, Morpheus, who may have ulterior intentions, and Jeb, her closest friend and hidden infatuation.
