They learn that although it summer and nice in Sisterland the price for that is paid by Earth, where it is eternal winter and cold. Alice and Marissa set out on a quest to set things right. They need to find the evil queen Lili and convince her to make things right on Earth. However, the longer they stay in Sisterland, the less they remember of their life on Earth. Will they remember what they are fighting for so they can save Earth and get back to their families?
