The comic follows Gert after she realises that being such a murderous maniac might be the very reason she's never been able to find her way out of Fairyland, and sets off on a new quest to redeem herself, trying to earn her way back home with good deeds, kindness, love, and whatever other mushy, touchy-feely things she can manage to express.[6]
