In one world, flamingos and lobsters dance, the White Rabbit is obsessed with the fleetingness of time and a Mad Hatter throws tea parties with the March Hare. In another realm, bombs rain upon a besieged 1940s World War II London as survivors seek shelter in an underground tube station. Alice Spencer is caught between. One foot is in a dark reality where her best friend is dying from tuberculosis. The other foot is in an imagined world filled with characters from her favorite book, "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," distracting her from her pain.
