Cinderella has been dead for 200 years, but her legacy lives on in the form of a yearly ball that sees teen girls married off to the men in the kingdom. Sophia struggles with the oppressive traditions of her homeland, and would rather marry her best friend Erin.

Together, they embark on a mission to end the reign of King Manford, and make Mersailles a kingdom that allows women to choose their own fates.
