Four African-American witches on the run from a Warlock detective, a jilted lover, and a ridiculous super clingy cat named Mister Purr. *** It's Mardi Gras weekend in New Orleans, and instead of celebrating with deep-fried beignets and dancing, Yanni finds herself in a dark alley with her three 'sisters'-staring down at a lifeless body. Shocked and scared, they realize something's off about this death. The body is twisted in a way that's not normal, and Yanni can't shake the feeling that dark magic is involved. With one sister panicking, another making sarcastic comments, and the eldest sister, Aunt BeeBee, trying to stay calm, Yanni's life takes a turn she never expected. The dead man's identity remains a mystery, and the sisters know one thing for sure: they can't let anyone find out. The four of them are witches, each representing one of the four elements, bound by magic and a sisterhood. But when it comes to covering up a murder, will they stick together or fall apart? Yanni's got a big decision to make. Will she go along with Aunt BeeBee's plan to cover it up, or will she risk everything to do what's right? With Mardi Gras chaos swirling around them, the sisters' bond is tested as they navigate dark magic, secrets, and their own fears. One thing's for sure-nothing in New Orleans will ever be the same.

"Emptiness is a home with no bed, A body with no head, Mechanical pencil, no lead. Emptiness is a heart, broken. Words chose to be unspoken, The sibling treated un-kin. But your emptiness is freedom, Your imagination's own kingdom, No heartache, no feelings." Charlie Kingsley has had bad experiences with love since she was a young child, which is exactly why she chose to save children from unhappy homes. With only what's left of her grandfather's memory to make up for her lost childhood and several sessions at a therapist, Charlie feels as though change is looking up. Full pockets don't compete with an empty heart and Apollo can vouch for that. Losing a child in the past has only hardened his heart in the present and could possibly ruin his future. Through secrets, lies, and the blurred lines between, love and the emptiness is brings is pushed to its limits and question lingers: "What is the bliss of solitude?"
