Each woman finds herself entangled in circumstances that force her to confront deeply personal "demons," echoing the dark and fantastical themes of the original folklore.

A third faces a harrowing predicament demanding immense sacrifice, and the fourth grapples with a hidden past that resurfaces with terrifying implications.
