Synopsis

Lost, listless and lonely, Poppy suddenly finds herself transported to - well, she's not quite sure where, when, or why she is. All she knows is the sun stopped rising this morning and she's trapped in a witch-catching cage. Rumor has it the last witch in the world has just died, but that hasn't stopped the locals from trying to find someone to blame. Poppy must join a ragtag group of dullards, cowards and schemers to find a way to save the world and get back home, assuming home is still where she left it.
