Needing a way to restore the Tree, the group hunts for the legendary Groundhog with the Backwards Facing Face, a creature rumored to have the power to reverse time. However, their task is made even more difficult due to the aspirations of Crolloq, Meg's old partner, who seeks to claim the Groundhog for her purposes.
