The Wizard Howl's castle, which is constantly shifting among the hills, is her only hope of breaking it. Sophie has to deal with the cold-blooded Howl, make a deal with a fire demon, and confront the Witch of the Waste in order to break free from the spell. herself learns during the journey that Howl and herself are far more complex than meets the eye.
