On the eve of Trollstice, the Trolls handle to get away from the Bergen's clutches, causing peace and security for several years under Poppy's guidance. Nevertheless, the security of the Trolls is compromised when a Bergen scullery maid named Bridget inadvertently finds their location. The Trolls are kidnapped by Chef, a ruthless Bergen who was eradicated from the Bergen town for her failure to serve Trolls to her people and sees catching the Trolls as her ticket back to power.

While Poppy is a beacon of pleasure, Branch has a dark secret-- he is gray because he lost his joy when his granny was consumed by a Bergen on a previous Trollstice.
