The Covenant

In 1680, a coven of warlocks uses dark magic to create four sons who are imbued with supernatural powers. After the sons are defeated in battle, the last surviving warlock, residing in the 21st century, must protect his son from his enemies and a rising evil. A group of young friends discovers their connection to the supernatural battle and must choose sides.
