In a cozy little town in the peaceful countryside, Sophie spends her days working in her family’s hat shop. In the distant, misty hills, she can sometimes catch a glimpse of Howl’s castle walking among the fields. While her gorgeous sisters greatly fear the terrible man named Howl, Sophie has no loathing of him because it is rumored he only devours the hearts of pretty girls; she has nothing to fear, because she says she’s never been beautiful for a moment in her life.
Sophie’s country and its neighbor are fighting a war over the disappearance of a prince, but that’s far away from where she is. She has nothing to worry about – the witches and wizards employed by the king will take care of it, right? After all, that’s what they’re there for, isn’t it?
When a strange customer walks through the locked door of Sophie’s hat shop, however, it seems things will never be the same. Revealing herself as the dreaded Witch of the Waste, the customer magically passes through Sophie, thereby casting a spell upon her. When Sophie opens her eyes, she sees the hands of an old maid in the place where her youthful hands had been. Looking in a mirror, she learns the shocking truth – the Witch of the Waste has turned her into a 90 year old lady!
Sophie knows that she cannot stay in town so, gathering up a few possessions, she ambles into the Wastes. It is here that she encounters Howl’s moving castle up close and personal. To escape the bitter cold she flees into the walking castle where she takes up a job as a cleaning lady. Little does she realize that the moment she set foot in Howl’s castle was the moment that she bound herself to discover the dreadful fate behind Howl’s true identity and the forbidden pact which fell from the sky. For only after unweaving the tangled fibers of truth can she truly learn to break her own spell and be young once more.
