THE NEO-PAGANS

A talented forensic sketch artist has the gift of “seeing” murderers with her hands. When her sister dies mysteriously in the Sierra Nevada wilderness, she identifies an Ozark witch who apparently killed her with black magic. She embarks on a mission to hunt down this witch, but she can only succeed by becoming a witch herself. She joins a diverse coven of colorful Neo-Pagans who practice only white magic.

Tracy Logan, a forensic sketch artist for a Northern California police precinct, has the gift of “seeing” criminals with her hands. When her sister Margo, a Placerville cop investigating a family disappearance, dies mysteriously in the wilderness, Tracy draws and “sees” the face of Sheila, an Ozark witch who killed her sister with black magic.

Tracy embarks on a mission to hunt down Margo’s murderer, realizing she can only succeed by becoming a witch herself. She joins a coven of Neo-Pagans, asters of the craft of white magic.

Tracy lives among a colorful ensemble of modern-day witches and learns a very unique brand of “magick”. She evolves from an amateur witch into an all-powerful pagan warrior -- a witch hunter.

What begins as a mission of vengeance becomes a journey into the magical world of Neo-Paganism where our heroine practices the art of spellcasting and martial magic to defeat a deadly enemy, all building toward a spectacular finale..."The War of the Witches".

This occult-thriller limited series, the final word on witches in television, is based on a real subculture, the Neo-Pagan Movement. The series will be a virtual how-to of witchcraft, appealing to YA and teen markets. As we follow Tracy’s training, we too get a crash course on how to cast love spells, success spells, self-defense spells. Before each episode, an onscreen warning to tempt the curious:

“DO NOT attempt the spells revealed here...unless you have the willpower to control them.” In reality, these spells have no harmful effects.
