After she suspects her of a secret rendezvous with her husband, Sunshine devises a way to destroy Celia, the house servant, in more ways than one. She attempts an even more horrendous act: to kill Celia's only daughter, Shantae. It is Shantae however, who has plans of her own to demolish the forces of evil that burn in the souls of Capn and Sunshine and recaptures a forbidden love that may change the world forever. She is tortured, ridiculed and chased through a bottomless pit of darkness until, alas, she finds a light that leads her on another whirlwind of ignited action and adventure. Only a strand of hope pulsates through as she runs in the middle of the night through deepening murky waters, twisted vines and fallen trees to reach a fate she knows little about.
