Snow White lives as a prisoner in her stepmother's sky castle, bound by iron chains that barely contain the demon inside her. This spirit fairy watches helplessly as her inner monster devours souls of anyone nearby. Queen Reina decides to eliminate the dangerous princess through poison, forcing Snow to flee downward to the earth kingdom below. Snow seeks someone who can extract her demon, but her weakened body struggles with the journey. The queen dispatches her headless horseman to retrieve Snow's heart while protecting her own reputation. Desperate to control the creature within her, Snow strikes a bargain with this unlikely huntsman. Neither anticipates how their agreement will transform both their fates. Seven dwarfs, a poisoned apple, and a prince all play roles in this twisted fairy tale. Snow believes she deserves death for the destruction she causes, but her journey becomes one of seizing control over her own destiny.
