In the town of Newsands, painfully shy Alex is abandoned by his two best friends for the summer. But he unexpectedly lands a part-time job at Wonderland, a run-down amusement arcade on the seafront, where he gets to know the teenage misfits who work there.

Alex starts to come out of his shell, and even starts to develop feelings for co-worker Ben who, as Alex's bad luck would have it, has a girlfriend.

Then, as debtors close in on Wonderland and mysterious, threatening notes start to appear, the teens take it on themselves to save their declining employer. But, like everything in Wonderland, nothing is quite what it seems...
