Synopsis:
Jeff Smax, a detective with the Top 10 precinct, is reluctantly paying a visit to his home world in a parallel dimension, and he's asked his partner, Toybox, to tag along. She's shocked to discover that her blue-skinned partner isn't from an alien world full of metahuman barbarians like him, but from a world that's every magical storybook come to life. Smax seems more than a little embarrassed about his heritage, but that's nowhere nearly as embarrassing as Toybox's experience when he finally gets around to introducing her to his family.
