A lighthearted, whimsical comedy about magical chaos and family dysfunction, driven by absurdist humor and fantastical hijinks rather than genuine peril.

A pair of witches descend upon a family and wreak havoc. Now it's up to the family's matriarch, a private detective, and a suspended police officer to stop them.
