Sometimes, Cinderella has to take matters into her own hands to get her shoe back.

Annabelle (known as Anne) has had a favorite pair of high tops for years. They belonged to her mother and when she wears them she feels especially connected to her mom, a divorced Egyptian immigrant raising four kids and working long hours at the hospital. These shoes are Anne’s super power. But then one day one goes missing from her gym locker. 

Her search for the missing shoe forces her to enlist the help of her brother’s best friend, Hunter. Anne has always had a crush on Hunter, but he’s never really thought of her as anything other than a friend. However, as they spend more time together both at their jobs in a local bakery and looking for Anne’s lost shoe, he’s left wondering if they could be more.

In fairytales, it’s usually the  prince who saves the day, but this princess is going to have to rescue herself—and maybe the prince as well—if she’s going to get a happily ever after.
