A demon, in the form of entrepreneur Sterling Gift, has come to Collinsport to destroy the struggling Collins family fortune, managed by heiress Carolyn Stoddard. When Carolyn's eighteen year old granddaughter Jenna time-travels to 1975, she meets her cousin David Collins. Sterling also arrives in 1975, accompanied by the witch Angelique, who has not forgotten Barnabas Collins, the vampire asleep for decades in his coffin, cleverly hidden by David. Relatives and friends reunite forty years apart to defend the family from an evil that can only be matched by the supernatural creatures hidden in the family tree and others whose passion makes them search for a sleeping monster, once a man loved, then cursed, by a witch.
