After getting a taste for blood as children, Hansel and Gretel have become the ultimate vigilantes, hell-bent on retribution. Now, unbeknownst to them, Hansel and Gretel have become the hunted, and must face an evil far greater than witches... their past.

Plot

Siblings Hansel and Gretel are left alone in the woods by their father and captured by a dark witch in a candy house, but they kill the witch and escape. Years later, the orphans have become famous witch hunters. When 11 children go missing in a small village, the Mayor summons Hansel and Gretel to rescue them, and they save red-haired Mina from the local sheriff who wants to burn her for being a witch. Soon they discover that the Blood Moon will approach in three days and that powerful dark witch Muriel is responsible for all the abductions; she intends to use the children with a secret ingredient in a broth that will protect the coven of witches against the fire. Meanwhile, Hansel and Gretel discover secrets about their parents.
