The ominous legend that no one ever returns from Witch Mountain looms over her quest, adding to the urgency and danger of her mission.

Stella is not alone in her daring endeavor. Joined by her friends Ethan, Shay, Beanie, and the hesitant Jungle Cat explorer Gideon, they embark on an unpredictable journey filled with bizarre challenges.
