Her daughter, Princess Garnett, runs away from the castle and befriends a group of good-hearted bandits led by a skilled thief, Zidane, who intends to end the evil queen's desire to dominate the world. Soon after embarking on their quest, they discover the queen's threats merely cover a far more sinister plot.
