More than three decades have passed since Alexandra, Jane and Sukie left Eastwick. They have since remarried and become widows. Coping with their grief and solitude as widows do: they travel the world. Why not, Sukie and Jane ask Alexandra, go back to Eastwick for the summer? The old Rhode Island seaside town, where they indulged in wicked mischief under the influence of the diabolical Darryl Van Horne, is still magical for them. Darryl is gone, but enchantment remains in the familiar village, where they enjoyed their primes as free, empowered women. How will they cope with the lingering traces of their evil deeds, the shocks of a mysterious counterspell and the advancing inroads of old age.
