Ten years have passed. Charlie fears his love of fairylands has ruined him. Jessica needs to save her sister from following the path of her lost and alcoholic mother. Doug Robbins' marriage is coming unraveled, and the state almost never sends children to OzHouse anymore. Should they look to fairylands for help? Or do fantasies just make things worse? No one has dared the magic doorway in years, but maybe there are answers there. Can Charlie renew his art? Can Doug renew himself? Can Jessica find a better place for her sister and her sister's doomed children? Perhaps the answers are tied to the fate of the one they left behind, poor, little Buddy Samson. Perhaps they need to find him. But first, they'll have to face the devil.
