Summoned back to Draeganoth upon the death of his father, King Malachy (Luke Goss) discovers that Witches are responsible for the blight and disease that have destroyed his kingdom. Accompanied by his knights Erik and Jason, and, reluctantly, by self-proclaimed witch hunter Heinrich Kramer, Malachy sets off in search of the evil ones. Overcoming obstacles such as a rogue band of thieves, witches disguised as his palace guard and red-eyed monster hyenas, Malachy and his troupe finally find the Witches. But, in doing so, Malachy meets the Red Queen (Sarah Douglas) and uncovers the secret of his origin.
