After her older sister dies in a car accident, Paige and her family move to a “quiet town where nothing ever happens” outside of Philadelphia to pick up the pieces of their family and move on. Paige can’t move on though because her parents act as though she doesn’t exist and her sister’s ghost hangs out in her bedroom. Paige becomes friends with some girls at school who practice witchcraft and she thinks everything will get better after they conjure a desire spell after school one day, but people start getting hurt and dying under strange circumstances that seem directly related to their spell. This isn’t what Paige wanted at all, but can she stop it in time before the dark spirits kill everyone she knows and loves?
