Zebediah Hugson books passage on The Wizard of Odds with Cap'n Bill and his first mate Trot to sail from Emerald City, Kansas downriver to Wonderland in search of his missing cousin, newspaper reporter Dorothy Gale. Meanwhile Tinka Belle, guilt-ridden over having overdosed Wendy's sister Detective Alice Dodgson on the hallucinogen fairy dust, has fled Peter Pan's luxury penthouse that towers over the futuristic art deco city of Wonderland. Tinka Belle returns to her roots in the dark underbelly of the city of tomorrow – the slums of Wonderland, where she shares an alley squat with her young friend Tip, a boy with a long-held secret and a hidden past. This sequel to Wonderland reveals what lies in the shadows of the glitz and glamor of the art deco architectural marvel of Wonderland, where the Yellow Brick Road leads through the dangerous Tenement Row, home of Old Mombi who sells abducted children and young women to the highest bidder; the local brothel, Glinda Goodwitch's Palace of Pleasure; The Quadling, the seedy bar belonging to ex-prizefighter Jack Pumpkinhead, whose face resembles a smashed gourd; and the territory claimed by Gen. Jinjur and her army of punk rock lesbians.
