Unseen by an apathetic society, there is a battle being waged between the forces of good and evil, black and white. In the center of unassuming town, gathering in a generic hotel, are the most powerful forces of time eternal: the thirteen black covens. On All Hallow's Eve, they unite to call the Black Magician, the darkest and deadliest being ever. They are a rag-tag group of misfits, an inexperienced but lovely witch, an ancient sorcerer obsessed with Math, and a private detective who can't seem to solve a case, but they are humanity's only hope. The world is unaware of the battle, but it will suffer the ultimate consequence if the war is won by the black evil. Can a group of societal rejects save the world or will all of humanity plunge forever into the abyss?
