In 1920s New Orleans, a hardworking waitress dreams of opening her own restaurant. Her fate changes when she kisses a prince who has been turned into a frog by a voodoo magician. Instead of transforming him back, the spell turns her into a frog as well, sending them both on an adventure through the bayou to find a way to become human again.
