'Where most little kids are told, "Don't take candy from strangers," By their mom.
I was told, "Don't follow the rabbit with a pocket watch," by my aunt Alica.

Well, I guess that's what I deserve for following the rabbit with a damn pocket watch.'
Chessie Queens has always been the daydreamer of her family, just like her aunt Alica, but one stupid mistake and her life turns upside down. She ends up in a haunted city and all the troubles that follow.
