Prince Gristle is the surly twenty-something King of the Bergen Monsters. He inherited the crown at a young age when his father was dethroned by his angry subjects. (His royal screw up: allowing everyone’s favorite delicacy — Trolls — to escape Bergen town.) Mortified by his father’s blunder and desperate to make his subjects love him, Prince Gristle vows to put Trolls back on the menu, and bring happiness back to Bergen Town.

King Gristle Sr. has dual responsibilites: leading the fickle, easily distracted Bergens and raising his only son, Gristle Junior, whose primary mission in life is to get his first taste of a Troll.

Bridget is the sweetest, most kind-hearted Bergen in all of Bergen Town. Bridget is the dishwasher and scullery maid to Chef, who is in charge of capturing and preparing the Trolls for the great Trollstice Feast. She’s sensitive and soft-spoken —a rarity amongst the Bergens. She speaks so quietly and delicately that it’s almost like there’s a little angel sleeping on her tongue. Through a song (a heartfelt rendition of “Hello” by Lionel Richie), we find out that Bridget has a secret crush on the Bergen King (Prince Gristle), but she lacks the confidence to speak out, since she is kept firmly under the thumb of her mean-spirited and overbearing boss, Chef. However, when Bridget meets Poppy and the Snack Pack, they hatch a plan to give Bridget the confidence she needs to act like a total babe, so she can catch the eye of the King.

Chef never was the same after the Trolls escaped Bergen Town. She had it all: a sterling reputation, throngs of admirers, and a coveted spot in the Royal Kitchen. But everything she had built crumbled in an instant the day the Trolls fled in tunnels under the Troll Tree. Chef was utterly humiliated. Now, after 20 years spent wandering the forest in exile, Chef hears something in the distance… A celebration! Could it be the thing she’s been vowing to find all these years? Will Chef finally discover the Trolls’ hiding spot, and put Troll Cuisine back on the menu in Bergen Town?
