In a present day idyllic kingdom, the benevolent teenaged son of
the King and Queen is poised to take the throne. His first
proclamation: offer a chance at redemption to the trouble-making
offspring of Cruella de Vil, Maleficent the Evil Queen and Jafar
who have been imprisoned on a forbidden island with all the
other villains, sidekicks, evil step-mothers and step-sisters.
These villainous descendants (Carlos, Mal, Evie and Jay,
respectively) are allowed into the kingdom to attend prep school
alongside the offspring of iconic Disney heroes, including Fairy
Godmother, Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel and Mulan. However, the
evil teens face a dilemma. Should they follow in their nefarious
