Plot Summary


As Alice Kingsleigh (no actor name provided) sets foot back in London, she’s met with an unexpected twist: her former betrothed Hamish Ascot has taken control of his deceased father’s company and is demanding the rights to her family home in exchange for her father’s prized ship. The weight of this revelation sends Alice on a journey down memory lane, tracing the path of a familiar butterfly - none other than Absolem, once a caterpillar, who leads her back through a mystical mirror into the fantastical realm of Wonderland.

As she reenters this topsy-turvy world, Alice is greeted by an array of beloved characters: the benevolent White Queen, the fastidious White Rabbit, the eccentric Tweedles, the comatose Dormouse, the perpetually puzzled March Hare, the relentless Bloodhound, and the mischievous Cheshire Cat. They collectively share with her a grave concern - that the usually affable Mad Hatter is behaving more erratically than ever before due to his family’s disappearance.

Alice endeavors to console the distraught Hatter, but her words of comfort fall on deaf ears as he remains resolute in his conviction that his loved ones have survived the jaws of the monstrous Jabberwocky. Seeking a solution to restore the Hatter’s health and sanity, the White Queen dispatches Alice to consult Time, hoping to persuade him to intervene and save the Hatter’s family in their hour of need.

However, the White Queen cautions Alice that altering the past is impossible, lest she risk unraveling the very fabric of Wonderland’s chronology. Undeterred by this warning, Alice steals the coveted Chronosphere, an artifact capable of controlling time itself, and embarks on a perilous journey through the swirling timestreams.

Her odyssey takes her to Time’s foreboding Castle of Eternity, where she encounters the enigmatic Time himself. Though he initially dismisses her plea to alter the past, Alice seizes the opportunity to pilfer the Chronosphere and travel back in time. There, she stumbles upon the exiled Red Queen, who has been placed under Time’s care.

In a turn of events that defies logic, Alice accidentally finds herself at the Red Queen’s coronation ceremony, where a younger Mad Hatter is ridiculing the monarch for her grotesquely misshapen head. The crown she wears proves ill-fitting, and its splintered remains serve as a poignant reminder of her own tragic flaws.

Following the untimely demise of her father, the Red Queen’s temper tantrum spirals out of control, causing her head to balloon to comical proportions. As the once-magnificent monarch becomes increasingly unhinged, Alice is faced with an existential crisis: has she altered the course of history, or merely delayed the inevitable?

As Alice delves deeper into the complexities of the Queens’ past, she uncovers a pivotal event that sparks tension between them, prompting her to embark on another thrilling adventure through time. This time, she seeks to alter the Red Queen’s persona and prevent the Jabberwocky from claiming the Hatter’s family as its victims. Meanwhile, the young White Queen pilfers a tart from her mother’s kitchen, leaving a trail of crumbs under her sister’s bed. When confronted about her mischief, she resorts to deception, allowing her sibling to take the blame, leading to a tearful departure from the castle.

As Alice watches her counterpart’s predicament unfold, she seizes an opportunity to alter the course of events by shoving aside a clock being transported through the city square. Although this intervention seems to have a profound impact, it ultimately fails to prevent the White Queen from suffering a head injury. Faced with the consequences of her actions, Alice is confronted by a weakened Time, who sternly rebukes her for putting the very fabric of time in peril.

In a desperate bid to rectify the situation, Alice flees back into the real world, only to find herself institutionalized and diagnosed with female hysteria. With her mother’s guidance, she manages to escape this mental prison and return to Wonderland, where she travels back in time to witness the Jabberwocky attack. To her surprise, she discovers that the Hatter’s family did not meet their demise but instead fell captive to the Red Queen’s ruthless Red Knights.

As Alice returns to the present, she finds the Mad Hatter on the brink of mortality. Her tears of devotion seemingly revive him, and he reverts to his former self. The inhabitants of Wonderland then converge on the Red Queen’s stronghold, only to discover that the Hatter’s family has been shrunk and imprisoned within an ant farm. The Red Queen seizes this opportunity to capture them and purloin Alice’s Chronosphere, transporting her sister back to the moment when she first lied about stealing the tart.

The young White Queen whispers a resolute “no” as her younger self denies pilfering the tart, while the Red Queen erupts into a rage, branding her sister a liar. This verbal confrontation creates a temporal paradox, causing the faces and bodies of both Queens to rust before the very fabric of Wonderland begins to corrode, affecting everything in its path.

As the Chronosphere’s power courses through them, Alice (actress name) and the enigmatic Hatter embark on a perilous journey back to the present, their footsteps a blur as they hurtle through time. With the fate of the timestream hanging precariously in the balance, Alice finds herself in a frantic dash to reclaim the Chronosphere’s rightful place, the rusty stand taunting her with its tantalizing proximity. Just as it seems the very fabric of reality is about to unravel, Alice’s hand brushes against the Chronosphere’s rim, sparks flying as the two components mesh once more. The rust dissolves, and order is restored to the universe.

Meanwhile, amidst the chaos of temporal restoration, the Mad Hatter (actor name) is reunited with his long-lost family, their joyous reunion a poignant reminder of the power of love and redemption. As for the White Queen (actress name), she extends a humble apology to the redeemed Red Queen (actress name) for her earlier deceit, the weight of her treachery lifting like the morning mist.

With the dust settled on this tumultuous chapter in her life, Alice bid farewell to her friends and returned to the real world, leaving behind the fantastical realm that had captivated her. But even as she reoriented herself in her own time, a new challenge awaited: her mother’s refusal to hand over control of Alice’s beloved ship to the trusted Hamish (actor name). Undeterred by this setback, Alice and her mother joined forces to forge their own path, charting a course for their company that would take them on thrilling adventures across the globe.
