In the English town of Sanctuary, practicing witch Sarah Fenn (Elaine Cassidy) lives in the open and practices her magic freely. But when local teen rugby star, Dan Whithall, dies in an apparent accident during a house party, the town turns on Sarah and her daughter, Harper (Hazel Doupe). Dan's mother, Abigail (Amy de Bhrun) was once Sarah's closest friend but now she will do almost anything to avenge her son's death.
