    It takes a lot for Salem locals to get excited about their town being known as "the witch city." But when a major studio arrives to shoot a witchcraft-themed movie, folks go Hollywood. For WICH-TV'S program director and chief documentary-maker, Lee Barrett, however, the project may come complete with a real-life death scene . . . 
     
     
     
    Between documenting the progress of the movie, corralling starstruck fans, and managing unmanageable traffic on Salem's narrow streets, Lee and her police detective husband, Pete Mondello, are beyond busy. Even Lee's best friend, River North, tarot card reader and practicing witch, gets in on the action, landing a job as a stand-in and body double. But it only takes one interview for Lee to realize that the male and female leads—whose roles include torrid love scenes—despise each other. Yet the problem is short-lived, literally . . . 
     
     
     
    When the lead actress is found dead on a set staged to replicate the room where suspected witches were tried in 1692—and her on-screen lover, in full costume, is discovered sound asleep in her trailer—the hunt is on for a killer on the loose. Now, even with help from River's entire coven, Lee's Aunt Ibby, and O'Ryan, a clairvoyant gentleman cat, sorting out a witch's brew of secrets, sorcery, and special effects might turn Lee's documentary into her own final act . . .
