Overview
Eric is a man shrouded in mystery. Throughout the land, he is known as "the Beast" for his bad temper and mean ways. When Belle is forced to work for him, she tries not to be intimidated and resolves to look deeper. She discovers the truth and becomes the one person who can make a difference in Eric's life and help him rediscover the faith and love he lost years ago. A touching story of forgiveness, change and love, this classic fairytale comes to life in modern times to capture your heart! That’s right: But for some bizarre reason, they changed all the names of the cast members, even though they are the same people.
