action
At first glance, the Beauchamp family looks like any other. But Matriarch Joanna and her sister Wendy are witches. Joanna hides this from her grown daughters Freya and Ingrid, who have been endowed with magical powers since birth. Freya and Ingrid always die between the ages of 20-30 after they discover their witchcraft powers and are reborn. However, this time Joanna has the hope that the two will have a long life.
Freya is a fun-loving young woman who works in a bar and has just become engaged to the wealthy playboy Dash Gardiner. But she is also drawn to the enigmatic Killian, Dash's brother. Ingrid, on the other hand, is shy and reserved and works as a librarian.
One day, Wendy turns up unexpectedly and brings her sister a warning. This warning forces Joanna to tell her daughters the truth: They are immortal witches. The idyllic life in the Hamptons is over, because an ancient enemy in the form of a shapeshifter wants to wipe out the Beauchamp family forever. So it's up to Freya and Ingrid to save their family and friends.
