Based loosely on the story of Literature/HanselAndGretel, the story is set in a fantasy kingdom where all magic is heavily regulated by the titular Secret Magic Control Agency. When the king is abducted by magically animated food, Agent Gretel is assigned to track him down with the help of her disowned con artist brother Hansel.
