A group of misfits—Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison, Natalie, Dawn, and Henry—struggle with regular problems in the real world. As if that’s not enough, they are sucked into a mysterious portal and find themselves in a strange, cubic wonderland called Overworld.
As this magical place thrives on imagination, each one of them must adapt by unleashing their most creative, resourceful self. Mastering this world is also the only way for them to get back home. Not only that, they must embark on a magical quest with proficient crafter Steve, totally changing how they perceive Overworld and the world where they came from.
