Plot Synopsis

A valiant girl, young Tripitaka, poses as a monk to liberate the Monkey King -- a god long trapped in stone -- in a quest to find seven sacred scrolls and save the world from evil. The series opens after a demon steals a magical crown from warrior monks, and an orphaned girl flees the monastery in a quest to awaken the long-petrified Monkey King. Tripitaka learns a troubling legend about Monkey, but the pair gains a surprising new ally before setting out to find the seven sacred scrolls. A demon jeopardizes the trio's quest before it even begins. Tripitaka makes a startling discovery about Pigsy, who makes a momentous decision.
