A missing husband. A trail of cash. And a dead body. Magic, mystery, and mayhem collide.

Miranda's peaceful home renovation project takes a wicked turn when the police barge in to deliver some seriously bad news: her husband has vanished into thin air. Presumed to be away for work, the truth is there was no business trip, and now the worst is feared.

Things are about to get witchy, as Lucas, his wife Charlie, and the newly-promoted apprentice Young Dave, and not forgetting the brainiac red squirrel Harlow, team up to solve the magical mystery of the vanishing husband.

Turns out, Miranda's not just a witch—she's a mom on a mission. With a dash of magic and a sprinkle of determination, they dive headfirst into the rabbit hole of deception. From a hidden laptop, to bundles of cash, they uncover a trail of bizarre clues making it clear that something wicked this way lurks. And just when the stress-o-meter hits maximum overload, a body pops up to crank up the mayhem!

Time to wave those wands and unleash the enchantment! Lucas, a newbie in the supernatural world, will stop at nothing to uncover the truth and help a friend. With Aunty Clem and Lucas' savvy mum lending a hand, they make progress, but this quest has them zigzagging all over the country. Seriously, why bother faking a business trip when the jig is up? Did the money-obsessed stockbroker hubby do the dirty deed and bolt? Or is there an even darker secret lurking beneath the surface?

Magic and smart squirrels can only get you so far, but Lucas isn't one to back down—even when the odds are stacked against him.

At least this time they managed to finish the paint job!

Wands meet wallpaper as our fearless crew embarks on a wild, hair-raising chase through a twisted world of money, magic, and dreams with sky-high prices.
