However, Katia's father is under the influence of an evil spell cast by an enthusiastic villain named Kieran.

He thinks that the lamp will lead him to an effective magic carpet and an ancient princess's locket that together will give him tremendous power.

With the wonderful light as their guide, the Bratz women, in addition to Katia and Alia the genie, go on an essential mission through the desert to find the pendant before Kieran does. Their journey is filled with obstacles and challenges that check their determination, resourcefulness, and strength of their relationship.
