It's always tough being the new kid in the coven. Elliot has had a rough year. His dad died, he had to move across the country, and now he's about to start high school at La's prestigious Saint John the Baptist Academy, where his mom has accepted the position of Vice Principal. He's quickly taken in by the school's outcasts: the scholarship kids, the queer kids, and the ones who just don't really fit in with the glossy trust fund babies of Sjtba. They immediately let him in on their little secret: they are witches. Elliot joins them in their world among the crystal stores and occult shops of Silverlake, but just as he feels he has finally found a sense of family with his new coven, a full moon initiation ceremony goes awry and unleashes a demon with a thirst for Sjtba student and faculty blood, whose gruesome killing spree reveals that forces much bigger and darker than their worst nightmares have had their sights set on Elliot all along. With the fun and games of playing with crystals and candles over, the coven now realize that magic is powerful, real, and that it might be more dangerous than they'd ever imagined.
