Jareth lures Toby into his Kingdom by having one of his goblins steal his homework, the theft prompting Toby to give chase. Through the years, Toby noticed that his wishes were often fulfilled but never understood why, having no memories of his time in the Labyrinth. Jareth, the Goblin King, has watched as Toby grows up, secretly giving him everything he desired regardless of its attainability, propriety, or scale. It has been over a decade since Sarah defeated the The Goblin King and rescued her baby half-brother, Toby, from his kingdom. Legions of goblins work behind the scenes to ensure that Toby has whatever his heart desires, preparing him for the day when he will return to the Labyrinth and take his rightful place beside Jareth as the heir to the Goblin Kingdom. The Goblin King has kept a watchful eye on Toby: his minions secretly protecting the child. The plot takes place around fifteen years after the events of Labyrinth and centres around Toby, who by this time has grown up into a teenager.
