About 18 years after the first film's ending, William Adams (who in later movies changes his last name to Spanner), the child from the first movie, is living with his adopted parents and assumes he is a normal 18 year old. He is unaware of his adoption or of his role in the first movie. Williams's adoptive parents stole him away from the coven in the previous film, as they are white witches who did not agree with the aims of their coven. They have hidden William in the suburbs to protect him from evil.
