*Adventure abounds when there are pirates around*
Best friends Alex and Steve are about to take a vacation at a luxurious resort! With Molly, Steve’s pet dog, and Shadow, Alex’s cat in toe, the group heads to their destination. At first, it seems as though things could not be more perfect.
*That is, until everyone at the resort is captured by pirates!* Nobody knows why the pirates have kidnapped the vacationers, what they want, or how long they will have to stay behind bars before they can get out...if they get out.
Adding to the mystery is the fact that the pirates don’t really act like pirates, *there’s something off about them*. Alex and Steve aren’t about to take this lying down. The friends *are about to go on another adventure*, this time to break out of the pirate’s jail and to return back to rescue everyone else.

As brave hearted Alex and level headed Steve persevere in their fight against an evil wizard and his enchanted zombies, they *slowly make it up the mountain where the wizard seems to have set up his lai*r. Alex and Steve are “semi zombies” - they still behave like humans but lack the strength to fight like they used to before they were bitten.
After killing off half of the zombie warriors, they find themselves in a compromising position – captured by the enchanted zombies and thrown in a cell made of ice. Despite their best attempt to escape, they find themselves thrown in yet another cold cell. The wizard makes an appearance, imploring them to join his army and offering human-hood back to the duo if they join his team.
After Alex sees Steve’s despondence over being a zombie, she kindly passes him 2 golden apples that will make him human again. His new found strength allows him to punch an escape hole, but by the time he tries to get Alex out it is too late. *Steve disappears, not to be heard from again.
*
Now Alex is alone with the wizard and it’s time to make a deal with the devil. Like Steve, Alex wants to be human again. And falsely pledging to join the wizard’s army seems to be her only salvation. The wizard warms up to Alex and asks her if he can bring a friend or family member for help. That’s when she springs to action – asking the wizard to invite her friend and his sister to help prepare for the army, and* that’s when things start to get exciting.*
