In 1950s New York, Gillian Holroyd is a modern-day witch who casts spells and performs feats of supernaturalism. When Gillian encounters charming publisher Shep Henderson, she casts a love spell to gain Shep’s interest in order to thwart a rival. Gillian finds herself falling in love with Shep, which poses a problem: witches, unfortunately, cannot fall in love, and this pesky imperfection leads to a number of difficult life lessons.
