My ruby slippers have taken me to a doorway, but the door remained closed. Only imagination could unlock it, and a world of dreams could indeed lie on the other side. Or your worst fears, your darkest nightmares might be waiting for you instead, so what do you do? Do you go back to the ordinary world to live an ordinary life, or do you risk everything including your life to walk through to the other side? Do you really want to know your destiny, or do you just want to accept the cards that you're still holding in your hand?

Riding the tornado to the O.Z., we found ourselves hurled into a world of dreams and a world of nightmares. Where beauty once lived, there was nothing now but devastation. Where hope thrived, there was only fear and control. The walls to the world of dreams was demolished, and all that existed today was darkness that continued to destroy everything and anyone standing in its way.

With dazzling special effects, the world of the Outer Zone, the O.Z. was brought to life in Sci-Fi's mini-series, Tin Man. Breathtaking sceneries filled the screen with blue water, bright skies, and castles we would only find in the heart of imagination. New and scary creatures met us on the old road, the yellow brick road. Shadowed by the emerald eclipse, the battle of good and evil had begun, and the darkness was now threatened by the light.

Swept away into the O.Z., DG took us hand in hand through the uncertain grounds of this world in her quest to find her parents. In her journey, she stumbled across Glitch, a man with literally half a brain. Shortly after, they found the Tin Man trapped in an iron prison and who was forced to watch his family's torture over and over again, stealing his heart out of his chest. Finally, as they continued on their way, they came to the aid of Raw, a lion that still lacks courage but possesses clairvoyance.

As the storyline continued to unfold, we are drawn further and further into the mystery surrounding DG. Was she truly the ordinary girl living the ordinary life, or was there something special about her? Something different that linked her to the evil sorceress, Azkadellia?
