On a remote island, powerful magician Prospero lives with his innocent daughter, Miranda, after being exiled by his treacherous brother and the King of Naples. When fate brings these adversaries close, Prospero enlists the help of Ariel, his spirit servant, to summon a storm that shipwrecks their vessel. The king's son, believing everyone else is lost, becomes captivated by Miranda. Meanwhile, Prospero’s brother and the king wander the island, joined by a drunken cook and sailor plotting against him with Caliban, his monstrous servant. As desires clash, each character seeks their own form of resolution.
