The Salem witch trials are in full swing for Salem, Massachusetts in 1692. Mallory, the strongest witch that has ever been, is tasked with saving her people from imminent death after watching her best friend burn at the stake. She must take her people out or they will continue being hunted one at a time. She creates an empty mirrored dimension like their own and using rocks, creates portals to send her people out as a mob careens down on them. She clutches her infant son as the rest of her people take the portals. They land on the other side in this new dimension, realizing that she didn’t make it. Arthur, Albert, and Mabel will have to lead their people without her.

In present day Salem, the Huxley’s purchase Mallory’s home when strange rocks start appearing throughout their yard. Benjamin, being ever so adventurous, makes the mistake of grabbing one and getting thrust into another dimension. When he releases them, he is pulled back to our dimension, finding out he is being split in two when he does. After several trips, he gets trapped by a man in this other dimension, forever split from his other self in our own.

What do these people want from him? Why is he the one chosen to take these portals? Will they ever let him go free? He must answer these questions to get back to his body before it is too late! Who knows what disasters it could spell!
