A swashbuckling adventure-comedy that blends con-artist scheming with genuine supernatural peril, grounded in the sibling bond between two charming fraudsters forced to become real heroes.

Folklore collectors and con artists, Jake and Will Grimm, travel from village to village pretending to protect townsfolk from enchanted creatures and performing exorcisms. However, they are put to the test when they encounter a real magical curse in a haunted forest with real magical beings, requiring genuine courage.
