The classic fairy tale like you’ve never seen it before. When a king’s promise is broken, Rumpelstiltskin makes a deal with the devil in Andy Edwards’ masochistic thrill ride. The scariest villain from our collective childhoods returns in this haunting tale — only this time, he’s darker, bloodier, and nastier. Once upon a time, a miller (Mark Cook) attempts to marry his daughter (Hannah Baxter-Eve) off to the King (Colin Malone) by claiming she can spin straw into gold. With the help of a demonic imp (Joss Carter), she fulfils the task, but the King becomes greedy and demands more. Desperate, she promises the imp her firstborn child in exchange for his continued help. When the time comes to honour her bargain, dark forces collide as the imp makes a sinister deal with the devil.
The story is said to follow a pair of loner college undergrads, Jack and Montgomery, who order a take-out pie, but accidentally take a homemade drug that turns a two-floor journey downstairs into a “mind-bendingly transformative quest.”
On the verge of losing everything, veteran sprinter Gu Young is getting one last opportunity at redemption, including a chance to re-kindle the love of his life.
