And this time there are no white knights in Disneys corner.But the Circle is still there, the small group of confidants who helped Walt escape death and who have been guarding him and his secret ever since.

However, as they scurry to wake him, the Circle discovers there are powerful forces that want the dead to stay dead. But they dont know Walt Disney!
