Plot

Sabrina and Daphne are off to school, but when Sabrina's teacher, Mr. Grumpner, is murdered, with a scarlet handprint left on the chalkboard, they realize that something is very odd. With the help of Wendell, the son of the Pied Piper of Hamilton; whom is also the principal of their school, they search the school's halls for clues, finally coming upon a shocking secret and a deadly encounter with the children of some very famous fairy-tale characters and the monstrous Rumpelstiltskin. Sabrina and Daphne discover a cave under school, where she finds her family and friends trapped in a web where they would be soon suffocated to death. Sabrina, while defeating Rumplestiltskin and his supporters, discovers that they are part of a secret Everafter organization called the Scarlet Hand, who had killed Grumpner and kidnapped her parents. Sabrina, after saving the trapped people, goes to a ruins of a hospital and comes face to face with the kidnapper of her parents, although the kidnapper's face was hidden under a hood.
