Pitched as a dark spin on the Rapunzel fairytale in the vein of Snow White and the Huntsman, the story follows the princess as she goes rogue and exacts revenge after not having been rescued from her tower.
A village girl seeks to rescue her kingdom's prince from the evil Rapunzel so that her family might benefit from the reward.
After her years in captivity lead Rapunzel to be consumed by dark magic, it is up to a huntress to rescue the prince Rapunzel has kidnapped and stop her from obliterating the entire kingdom.
After waiting for years to be rescued from her isolated tower, Rapunzel finally gains powers of dark magic, and starts to plot her revenge.

The witch has moved Rapunzel to a fortress in the mountains, where she will never be found.
