11-year-old Laura, burdened by guilt about acts of thievery, is staying at her grandmother's house when she encounters a gruff, talking bear named Boris. When they are pursued by a pack of robot dogs called dogdroids, Boris whisks Laura away to a land called Perdita, where they go on a journey to see a scientist and inventor named Dr. Jonathan Bard.

​

Meanwhile, the evil dragon Tenebris Draco is trying to capture Laura for his own evil purposes, sending the dogdroids after her and enlisting the help of a wicked prince-turned-frog named Quincy.

​

As Laura journeys through Perdita, she learns of the Knight's emerald, a broken emerald that, if restored, could save Perdita from Tenebris. And as she journeys towards redemption, everyone will be touched along the way.
