Synopsis
Trouble is brewing in Whitby. Best friends Lil and Verne, who are sceptical about magic, first take it for a bad storm. Cherry Cerise, the flamboyant last witch of the town, suspects an ancient curse tied to the Nimius, a magical artefact made long ago by the magician Melchior Pyke and the witch Scaur Annie, is returning. Pyke's former manservant, Mister Dark, who betrayed the artefact's makers, has come back with a plan to destroy Whitby and claim the Nimius for himself. Lil, Verne and Cherry must work together to stop him.
