Princess Protection Program

General Magnus Kane and his agents burst into Rosalinda's palace during the coronation rehearsal, signaling the start of a nationwide crisis. The royal guards scramble as Kane declares his intent to capture the princess and overthrow Costa Luna. The event sets the high stakes that drive the rest of the story.

Major Joe Mason of the Princess Protection Program arrives to extract Rosalinda and safely whisks her away by helicopter. Kane's agents overrun the palace, and Rosalinda's widowed mother, Queen Sofía, is captured. The rescue marks a dramatic exodus from Costa Luna.

To protect her from Kane, the Princess Protection Program relocates Rosalinda to Major Joe's home in Lake Monroe, Louisiana. The group plans to find a legal way to remove Kane and liberate the kingdom while Rosalinda remains in hiding. The separation begins her undercover life in a small American town.

Rosalinda meets Joe's daughter Carter, a tomboyish teen who dreams of homecoming. Carter initially treats her with hostility but grows supportive as Rosie explains her situation. The two bond as Rosie learns how to blend in with American teenagers and Carter shows her how to handle bullies.

To avoid arousing suspicion, Rosalinda assumes the identity of 'Rosie Gonzalez,' a cousin from Iowa. The disguise helps her attend school and interact with classmates as an ordinary teenager. She soon becomes popular by navigating high school life under the alias.

General Kane announces his intent to forcibly marry Sofía as leverage against Rosalinda, intensifying the threat to Costa Luna. The public threat puts pressure on the PP.P.P. to find a legal solution while Kane's grip tightens. The stakes widen beyond Rosalinda herself.

Brooke, a mean-spirited classmate, threatens to reveal Rosie’s true identity unless she drops out of the homecoming queen vote. Rosalinda reads about the upcoming nuptials in a magazine and decides it is safer to return home to Costa Luna. The plan to keep her hidden near Lake Monroe is put at risk.

Carter crafts a ruse to disguise herself as Rosie and serve as bait to lure Kane into captivity. She enlists Mr. Elegante, Rosie's dressmaker friend, who feeds Kane false plans about Rosie attending the homecoming dance in a blue dress. The plan sets the stage for the disguise at the dance.

On the night of the Homecoming Dance, friends wear masks and Carter steps into Rosie’s clothes, hoping to bait Kane's capture team. Kane's agents mistake Carter for Rosie and escort her toward Kane's helicopter. The disguise creates a dangerous moment as the plan unfolds.

Rosie realizes the ruse and publicly reveals that she isn’t the one being captured; she tells Carter that this is not her fight. This brave act undermines Kane’s plan and buys time for the PP.P.P. agents to react. The revelation shifts the balance of the confrontation.

Princess Protection Program agents, including Joe, spring into action inside the helicopter and arrest Kane and his henchmen. They are handed over to international authorities, ending the immediate threat to Rosalinda. The rescue restores order and secures Rosalinda's safety.

Back at the event, Rosie is crowned Homecoming Queen with Carter, Joe, Ed, Sofía, and Mr. Elegante in attendance. The moment marks a hopeful turning point for Costa Luna and Rosalinda’s hidden life comes to a close. The crowd cheers as the princess and her protector celebrate their victory.
