In the heart of modern-day Salem, Massachusetts, lives Elphaba Johnson, an 18-year-old with a secret. Elphaba isn't just any homeschooled teenager; she's a witch who sleeps atop the grave of her late father, visiting his spirit in her dreams. The night before Halloween, her father's spirit entrusts her with a mission. An old malevolent evil spirit has taken residence, its presence a dark stain on the town's festivities. This Hallowtide, when the veil between realms is the thinnest, Elphaba's role shifts from celebrant to protector, tasked with confronting this evil head-on. Enter Dale Henkins, the golden boy of Salem High, whose life revolves around touchdowns and the adulation of his peers. For him, Halloween is all about costumes, parties, and making memories with his popular friends. But chance intertwines his path with Elphaba's when and together, this unlikely duo must delve deeper into the darkness. Elphaba, with her guarded heart, begins to see beyond Dale's jock facade, discovering a depth of character she hadn't anticipated. Dale, in turn, is drawn into the mysteries of this loner girl, finding in Elphaba a strength and vulnerability that excites and intrigues him. Their mission, fraught with peril turns Halloween from a night of fun scares and parties into a profound journey of self-discovery and mutual bonding.
