      Oslava sesterstva, rodiny a sily lásky v obľúbenom filmovom príbehu. Keď sestry Sally a Gillian Owensové osirejú, ujmú sa ich excentrické tety z Massachusetts. Dievčatá postupne odhaľujú, aké tajomné, ba desivé schopnosti majú ich tety. Keď sa rovnaké magické nadanie začne prejavovať aj u sestier, rozhodnú sa od tiet ujsť a začleniť sa do „normálnej“ spoločnosti. Minulosť plná mágie ich však dobehne. A keď nastanú problémy, musia sa tri generácie žien z rodu Owensovcov nielen spojiť, ale aj prijať svoju mágiu ako dar – a kľúč k budúcnosti plnej lásky a vášne.
