A dark reimagining of Alice in Wonderland set against the backdrop of early 20th-century American drug crisis, blending surreal fantasy with historical melancholy.

She follows a mysterious man down a rabbit hole, leading her into Wonderland; a dark and curious world inhabited by characters from turn-of-the-century America and the Pacific Northwest.
