Synopsis
While the adults of the household are away making a movie, Cherokee Bat tries to cheer up her sort-of sister Witch Baby, who is deeply depressed and shut in a shed. Cherokee makes her a pair of wire and feather wings. The two girls then start a band with their friends Raphael and Angel Juan, and the band begins to succeed. As it does, each member acquires a magical costume piece, goat pants for Raphael, horns for Angel Juan and hoof-like boots for Cherokee. The costumes change how the friends behave, and their new lives begin to bring drugs, sex and jealousy into the group.
