Before
As the new school year begins at Spencer Academy, students have gathered for a wild outdoor party to mark the end of summer. Hundreds of feet above the gyrating bodies, the Sons of Ipswich walk off the edge of a cliff unseen and unscathed before casually joining the fray.

At the party, newcomer Sarah Wenham is introduced to the boys by her roommate Kate, who is Pogue's long time girlfriend. The girls also meet an intriguing transfer student named Chase Collins who quickly ingratiates himself into the group. As the DJ informs everybody that the police are coming, the four heroes are slow to disperse and are caught in a chase. While driving through the wilderness they are forced to drive off a cliff and use their powers to land unscathed right behind the cops, who are bewildered and frozen in their places.

The police later discover the body of a student, dead of an apparent drug overdose. The school headmaster immediately suspects Caleb and his friends are somehow involved. Meanwhile, as Sarah, a former Boston public school student, tries to adjust to dorm life at the elite prep school, she can’t shake the creepy feeling that someone – or something – is watching her every move. When she is showering, a light bulb breaks for no apparent reason. When she gets out of the shower, she feels someone watching her and hurries to her dorm room, only to run into Reid, who insists that they check it out. Upon reaching the showers, however, they find nothing, so bidding each other good night they leave.

The next day Caleb is talking to Pogue about the news of the dead student which he has just read, when he sees the student sitting next to him in the passenger seat (here called a 'Darkling'). He freaks out and drops his phone, while Pogue asks what happened. Suddenly Caleb looks straight ahead to see that he is about to hit a truck ahead of him. They slam into each other, while in slow motion we see Caleb using his powers to dismantle the car and rebuild it after the truck has passed to land safely and unscathed from the accident.

He later goes into a pharmacy to get medication for his father, where he meets Kate and Sarah and is joined by Chase. Sarah joins him on his route to deliver the medicine, passing by beautiful scenery and an old shack, which Caleb identifies as the old Putnam barn. Caleb leaves the medicine at his family's old house, which is under the care of a near-sighted man named Gorman. Before leaving, Caleb looks at an armchair facing the fireplace. The only part of the occupant that can be seen, however, is a withered hand.

With tensions rising at the school, Caleb and his friends close ranks. In one scene Caleb is challenged at swimming by Chase. Caleb is about to win when Chase uses his powers to speed up, making Caleb lose focus, hit his head on the pool walls and black out. When he reawakens he is told that Chase saved him, but he is suspicious of Chase because he saw his eyes turn pitch black. That night Caleb and Pogue break into the school records room to take a look at Chase's files. They find the files they want and are looking through them, when they are interrupted by a security guard on his rounds. He enters but finds nothing, we are then shown Caleb and Pogue levitating overhead near the ceiling, and Caleb levitates some papers when they are about to fall on the guard.

Caleb, Pogue, Reid, and Tyler gather together where Caleb fills them all in. Collins was the name of Chase's foster parents. His real name is Pope. According to the Book of Damnation, Goody Pope was a woman who, following the death of her husband, accused John Putnam of coming to her in her dreams as an incubus. Goody Pope's son was born 10 months and 24 days after Goody Pope's husband died, verifying the claim. This means that Chase is the descendant of the fifth family in the covenant.

Meanwhile, Sarah finds that Kate was taken to the hospital. The doctor tells Sarah that Kate is suffering from a very severe allergic reaction, as if she were bitten by spiders. Sarah remembers a frightening dream she had earlier where she and Kate were both covered in spiders and she calls Caleb for help. Caleb tells Sarah to wait in the dorm for him and then tells Pogue that Chase put Kate under a spell. Furious, Pogue sets off and attempts to run Chase over with his motorcycle, only to have the more powerful Chase severely injure him. Chase tells Pogue that he hurt Kate to get to Pogue and that he is going to hurt Pogue to get to Caleb.

Caleb goes to Sarah's dorm room to find her lying on her bed under a deadly spell by Chase. Chase tells Caleb that shortly before he died, his [Chase's] father willed him his power, making Chase even stronger than a member of the covenant usually becomes at their eighteenth birthday. Chase demands that Caleb will his new powers to him on Saturday - the Fall Fest and Caleb's eighteenth birthday. After Chase threatens to kill Reid, Tyler, Pogue, Kate, Sarah, and the entire covenant's families, Caleb agrees. Chase removes the spell from Sarah and leaves. On Saturday, Caleb tells Sarah and his mother everything and leaves Sarah with Reid and Tyler at the dance. He enters the Putnam's barn, only to find Sarah lying in it unconscious. Chase had her kidnapped from the dance to ensure that Caleb keeps his end of the bargain. The two men fight, but Caleb is not as powerful, even with his newly acquired powers. Meanwhile, Caleb's mother goes to Caleb's father, a man who, while only 44, used his powers so much that his body wore out and he now looks about 100. She tells him of Caleb's problem and begs him to think of someone other than himself and will his power to Caleb, making Caleb strong enough to knock Chase into the burning Putnam barn. Caleb rescues Sarah and the firemen come to put out the barn. Caleb has them look for Chase's body, but they don't find it. Sarah and Caleb drive away together. Meanwhile, at the hospital, Pogue and Kate are both shown waking up, indicating that they will both recover from their injuries.

Now
Now a month later, the Ipwich Brothers are still recovering from Chase's deadly antics and are now trying to get their lives back on track. Caleb now having ascended and having all this power is so much more prepared in taking on the seductive pulls of the dark power running through his veins. He now being clearly the most powerful of the Ispwich brothers, Caleb takes it fully into his hands to protect the ones he love. He still haven't given up from looking for Chase and knows he's still out there somewhere. Pogue nearly coming so close to death have had his eyes open greatly. Though still being that tough guy that he is, he takes on a new inlock in life and after nearly losing Kate and not wanting to lose her again. He proposed to her only a few weeks after their release from the hospital. Tyler met a girl at the ball and hooked up with her and much to Reid's dislike is falling for her fast.

Reid feeling his place is threatened by her is starting to realize that he have feelings for Tyler and loves him. Planning to win over Tyler with all his might he's on a job to win Tyler's heart.
