Plot
In Ipswich, Massachusetts, four high school boys – Caleb Danvers, Pogue Parry, Reid Garwin, and Tyler Simms, collectively known as the "Sons of Ipswich" – possess magical abilities as the descendants of the four remaining colonial witch families. Magic manifests on a witch's thirteenth birthday and grows stronger until they "ascend" at eighteen, upon which their powers increase significantly. However, use of magic can be addictive, with overuse causing accelerated aging, insanity, and death.
