Collie Wiebe is an up and coming track star at her school in Ripon, England. Her and her best friend Bal push each other, while trying to push out the sight of Bal's father dying in a hospital bed, his mind in the grips of fantasy he has mistaken for memory.

Except, she's not really Collie Wiebe.

As the sun sets, she trips through the woods, past the ruins of the old Abbey, and finds her way home: back in Fairyland. Attendant to Queen Titania, living under the rule of King Oberon, Collie is actually Cobweb, living between the Otherworld and Fairyland, tasked with keeping an eye on Bal: son of Nick Bottom.
