Three suburban friends had normal and routine lives. They each had their challenges, but overall things were normal. The one thing they had to look forward to each week was their wine night. One night every week they would get together, drink wine, and gossip about the other women in the neighborhood. This all changed when one of the women decided to shake things up and brought a mysterious book of spells and magic to their wine night.

She had a terrible, wonderful confession. She had been using magic to improve her life and it was working. Now she wants to share this gift with her two best friends.

It seemed harmless enough at the time and when their wishes started to come true, the three friends didn't see the harm in trying more and more dangerous spells. Suddenly things changed and a death rocked their harmless world of witchcraft.

Was it too late? Were they in too deep? Was this just the beginning of their suburban nightmare? As the stakes get higher and higher these three women fight for their sanity, their lives, and each other. For the witches of Lancaster Street things will never be the same again.
