In this pilot episode, we are introduced to Lowell and Bridgette Mathieu, twin siblings in a family of witches who seem to lack any magical abilities. On their 21st birthday, Bridgette fails her initiation test to join the coven of master witches, while Lowell skips the ritual entirely, more interested in technology than magic. But when both twins' tempers boil over, they each unwittingly unleash powerful and dangerous magical forces. Now, with sinister forces in their magical community set against them, Lowell and Bridgette will need to learn to control their newfound powers and uncover the truth about their family's magical lineage. This paranormal coming-of-age story blends ancient mythology and modern tech as two outsiders suddenly find themselves key players in an epic magical conflict.
