Y si siguiera el cuento de la Cenicienta? No te conformes con romper el cuento de hadas, hazlo añicos. Isabelle no es la preciosa muchacha que ha enamorado al prÃncipe tras perder un zapato de cristal, sino la hermanastra fea que se ha cortado los dedos de los pies para lograr meterlos en el zapato de Cenicienta. Y ese zapato... se está llenando de sangre. Cuando el prÃncipe descubre el engaño, la rechaza y condena a su familia al desprecio del pueblo. Pero ella cree que se lo tiene merecido: querÃa ser como Cenicienta y solo ha conseguido ser mala y celosa. Ahora tiene la oportunidad de cambiar su destino y demostrar lo que las hermanastras feas siempre han sabido: ni siquiera un corazón roto basta para someter a una chica.
