Premise
[edit]"The film will center on a strong princess named Scarlet who crosses space-time to enact revenge. Her father, the king, was murdered, and after her attempt at vengeance failed, she wakes up in 'The Land of the Dead' which is brimming with madness. If one does not exact revenge on one's nemesis and end up here in this 'place for the unfulfilled,' they become 'nothing' and disappear. The story follows Scarlet's boundless journey of vengeance."[1]
