Summary
The Power of Three has been reborn in the three granddaughters of the Charmed Ones, Kennedy "Ken" Mitchell (Lilly Collins), Kenzie "Kenz" Halliwell (Katherine McNamara), and Kassandra "Kas" Halliwell (Shelley Hennig). The three move to Mystic Falls with Melinda (Jennifer Love Hewitt), daughter of Piper, where their destiny is to protect the seemingly innocent town from a darkness from its past. This is just the beginning of the new generation of Charmed Ones.

Four months have passed since Melinda has moved to Mystic Falls with her niece and second cousins under the guise of opening another Halliwell's restaurant and giving the girls a fresh start away from their large family and their studies at Magic School. Now fifteen years old and starting normal high school, Kennedy, Kenzie, and Kassandra come into their Charmed powers and new destiny and are thrusted into the world of vampires, witches, and the dark history of Mystic Falls.

On this journey they cross paths with vampire siblings Damon, Stefan and Ava Salvatore, humans Elena and Jeremy Gilbert, Caroline Forbes, Matt Donovan, brothers Tyson and Tyler Lockwood, fellow witch Bonnie Bennett, the new history teacher/vampire hunter Alaric Saltzman along with his wiccan daughter Spencer, and the supernaturally knowledgeable art teacher Andrew Fell. Soon, everyone's lives are in danger when a sealed tomb is opened and vampires wait in hiding, planning their revenge on the town that condemned them to death. With a plan in motion, a day of celebration turns into a day of danger.
