Summary
The discovery that they are descendants of a long line of witches finds three sisters battling demons and warlocks and occasionally each other.

When the beautiful Halliwell sisters inherit a house from their grandmother and discover a secret "Book of Shadows," they learn that they each have a unique power; The strong-willed and controlling Prue can move objects with her mind, the reserved, sarcastic Piper is able to freeze time, and the uninhibited, free-spirited Phoebe sees the future and past.

Individually, each is strong but it is only by putting aside their differences and banding together as the "Power of Three" that they will be able to protect the innocent and vanquish evil. Each exciting episode in this layered series is a supernatural adventure brewing with suspense and humor.
