Something is brewing in the town of Whitby. To best friends Lil and Verne, it just seems like a particularly bad storm. But Cherry Cerise, the last of the Whitby witches, fears that ancient forces are at work, reviving the curse of a long lost magical artefact. This artefact, known as the Nimius, was created by magician Melchior Pyke and a young witch known as Scaur Annie. But they were both betrayed by Pyke's villainous manservant, Mister Dark, causing a feud that has survived even beyond death. As Mister Dark rises to mastermind Whitby's very own apocalypse can Lil and Verne join with Cherry to quell his plans and save their home?
