[2] The series centers on the life of a preteen girl named Juniper Lee, who lives in Orchid Bay City.

Based on Winick's adopted hometown of San Francisco, the city is a hub for magical activity and is filled with various monsters and demons, both good and evil.

To accomplish Juniper's task, she has been magically enhanced, making her far stronger and faster than ordinary humans; her abilities include superhuman strength, speed, agility and reflexes.

Sum up the show for us... Judd: I'm sounding like a broken record, but it's kind of like Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets The Simpsons.

But she must put her efforts on hold when everyone in the city falls asleep and they become victims of a plot by the Sandman, lord of the sleep realm.
