Synopsis:
Once upon a time in Fairy Tale Land, the age-old balance between good and evil has been thrown out of whack. Frieda (Sigourney Weaver), Cinderella’s (Sarah Michelle Gellar) power-mad stepmother, has formed an unholy alliance of evil to take on the good guys. With her own fairy tale spinning wildly out of control, Cinderella (a.k.a. Ella) is forced to shed her damsel-in-distress trappings in order to seize control of her own destiny and lead the resistance without her Prince Charming.

In a world of happy endings gone wrong, the race for control of the kingdom is on, with the fate of the venerable storyline ‘Happily N’Ever After’ hanging in the balance.
