Dorothy, or “Dottie” as we call her, a twenty-year-old young lady, born; raised; and about attend community college in Richmond VA. She is celebrating her going away college dinner with her extended family, but she doesn't seem to be thankful for much in life. She lives a self-imposed sheltered life; she is shy and unfulfilled. Things change for her when she is caught in a Thunderstorm while taking out the trash for her grandmother. She is transported to the mysterious place called Munchkin Land (PG County MD), where she is informed that the only possible way to find her way back home is through the assistance of the powerful wizard in Chocolate City called “The Giz”. As she goes searching for him along with her chaperone “WB”, she befriends some creatures who are facing problems in life just as she is. In their quest to find and get help from The Giz, they also face Evillene, the Wicked Witch of Waldorf, the equally evil sister of Evermean, the wicked witch of SouthEast, whom Dorothy inadvertently killed when she arrived in Munchkin Land, and who may be their biggest obstacle in achieving their goals.
