In this enchanting retelling of Charles Perrault's beloved fairy tale, "Cinderella," EverAfter brings a fresh spin to the classic story of Danielle (Drew Barrymore), a young woman born into servitude. Orphaned at a tender age, Danielle is forced to live with her cruel stepmother, Rodmilla (Anjelica Huston), and her two spoiled stepsisters, Jacqueline and Margaretha. As Danielle toils away in the kitchen, she longs for a life beyond the confines of her stepmother's tyranny. Her only solace comes from her fairy godmother, who appears to her in various guises, offering words of wisdom and encouragement.

However, Rodmilla and the stepsisters have other plans, seeking to sabotage Danielle's chances with the prince.
