Once upon a time in a fairytale kingdom, Cherry is happily married to Jerome and living an idyllic life. At least that’s how it seems. But the couple have yet to conceive an heir, and the rulers of their patriarchal society are less than pleased. When Jerome absconds and his dashing friend Manfred arrives with dastardly intentions, Cherry’s troubles look set to worsen. But Hero, Cherry’s wily and loyal maid, who won’t let anything happen to her beloved mistress, concocts a plan. As Hero tells captivating stories night after night about rebellious women who refuse to follow the rules of their society, she ignites a fire within Cherry that could forever change their lives.
