In 1693, in a small village in Massachusetts, five witches are burned at the stake. Four are pure and kind-hearted, using their powers only for good; their murders are a travesty.

In present day, in the peaceful seaside village of Laguna Beach California, the witches rise yet again. Some strange photographs and the assistance of a medium named Isabel lead the witches to learn their true nature...and their purpose.

Old tensions were brought back as those afflicted were targeted by the fearful.

The 21st century brought more plagues to mankind than any other time in history. Some were manufactured by man, others were acts of God.

People - lots of them - are going missing on the island nation of Aruba. Jack Hunger has a funny feeling it’s not by natural causes.
