In the sequel to Practical Magic, the Owens sisters, Sally and Gillian, continue to live in their ancestral Massachusetts home. Their daughters, Kylie and Antonia, are nearly grown, but Sally has kept them from their magical birthrights due to the curse that plagues their family – a curse causing gruesome ends for their romantic partners. When Aunt Bridget discovers a way to break the curse, Kylie's defiance leads to her boyfriend Gideon's near-fatal accident.
Kylie journeys to England, seeking a way to save Gideon, and is followed by Sally, Gillian, and the occult academic Ian Wright. They discover Thornfield, a town tied to their ancestor Maria Owens. There, they confront Tom Bailey, a descendant seeking revenge, who is revealed to be influenced by dark forces.

This confrontation shatters Tom, who is reduced to ashes. The family's ordeal highlights their deep sisterly bond and resilience.

A year later, magic is integrated into their lives, culminating in Kylie's wedding. Sally, Gillian, Kylie, and Antonia embrace their heritage, culminating in their iconic rooftop leap, signifying their full acceptance of magic and destiny.
