A Gothic retelling of the Wizard of Oz.
An earthquake has hit Fresno, California sending Dory and her black cat, Toby, through the earth and into the Underworld, where she must travel to the City of Dead to find the Dread Phantom of Ooze in an attempt to get back home.
Along the way she forms unlikely friendships with a zombie, a creature and a werewolf who accompany her in hopes that the Dread Phantom will give them what they desire too.
As Dory finds out it doesn't hurt (not badly anyway) to have such friends when you're just a girl in a land of giants, apocalyptic horsemen and where the pigs fly.

Discovering they share history together, they soon find themselves consumed in one another.
