(short for Outer Zone) sends her men to Kansas to kill DG, who she believes can prevent her from controlling the O.Z. in its entirety. Her plan backfires and DG ends up entering the O.Z. There, she befriends Glitch (Alan Cumming), who is missing half of his brain, Wyatt Cain (Neal McDonough), a Tin Man, which is what police officers are called in the O.Z., Raw (Raoul Trujillo), a sort of psychic whose species has been enslaved, and Tutor (Blu Mankuma), a shape shifter who can turn into a dog. DG and her new friends travel through the O.Z. to visit the Mystic Man (Richard Dreyfuss) so they can learn how to stop Azkadellia for good. Will DG be able to protect the O.Z. from the evil sorceress, or will Azkadellia succeed in her plans to cover the world in darkness?
