Dot is a dot of a girl stuck in a nowhere place in a nowhere town in Berkshire with nothing but big dreams and her little dog Toto for company.

Toto disappears and a desperate search through a storm transports Dot to a strange and miraculous land full of witches and wizards and friendly furry creatures. Meeting new friends along the way, Dot heads to the Emerald City in search of the magical Wizard to help her find Toto and return home. However, her journey is fraught with danger as they are followed by the scheming Wicked Witch of the West, who will stop at nothing to get her hands on Dot's all-powerful magic boots...
