A visually striking puppet-animated fantasy about revenge and deception that uses its literal strings as a metaphor for connection and control.

The story of Prince Hal who sets out to avenge his dead father against the city's rivals, the Zeriths, little knowing it was his wicked uncle Nezo who is the real killer, with his own designs on the throne.
