The movie follows former Villain Kid Uma (aka VK), now headmaster of Auradon Prep, who extends an invite to the school to another VK – Red (Kylie Cantrall), the rebellious daughter of the Queen of Hearts (Rita Ora) from Wonderland. After the Queen of Hearts incites a coup against Auradon, Red must team up with Cinderella’s perfectionist daughter Chloe (Malia Baker) and travel back in time to try to undo the traumatic event that set Red’s mother down her villainous path.
