It's the 19th Century in New Orleans. You're a young girl named Lillian who has been training under the powerful voodoo queen Marie Leveau. Without warning, the town is overcome by a dark curse, trapping everyone but yourself, so you begin on a journey to save your friends, family and town before they are lost to the dark forces forever.
