Plot

The series is about Tara Crossley, an American teen who moves from the United States to an English village called Evermoor. As her mother and step father unpack at their new home, Tara, her brother, and her British step-siblings adjust to their new life. Danger, mystery, and intrigue accompany their adventure.

Characters

• Tara Crossley (Naomi Sequeira) – Tara is the only member of the family who has been to Evermoor before to visit her aunt Bridget when she was little and is the most excited about living there. She is Jake's sister and Seb and Bella's step-sister. She enjoys writing stories and because of this she has an over-active imagination. In the show she solves mysteries in the manor and finds out later on that she is the supreme everine.
• Sebastian "Seb" Crossley (George Sear) – Seb is Bella's twin brother and Jake and Tara's step-brother. He likes to have evidence and proof, before making any conclusions, and keeps Tara grounded. He is quite geeky and is in love with Sorsha. He seems to have a very strong relationship with Tara, which makes Bella very jealous. He seems to care very much for both his sisters but probably enjoys Tara's company more than that of his own sister.
• Cameron Marsh (Finney Cassidy) – Cameron is Tara and Bella's love interest but has chosen Tara. His mum was an Everine. He is shown to have helped Esmeralda to cheat Tara so he can find his mother.
• Bella Crossley (Georgia Lock) – Bella is Seb's twin sister and Jake and Tara's step-sister. She often gets jealous of how close Tara and Seb are and to make up for the lack of attention she gets from Seb, she flirts with Cameron. Later on in the show, she gains an ability to smell emotions.
• Jake Crossley (Georgie Farmer) – Jake is Tara's brother and Seb and Bella's step-brother. He is good friends with Ludo and together they enjoy solving 'mini mysteries'.
• Sorsha Doyle (Jordan Loughran) – Sorsha is a recently appointed Everine but is kicked out of the circle when she breaks the rule of no boys. She is the daughter of Mayor Doyle and is in love with Seb.
• Mayor Chester Doyle (Clive Rowe) – Chester is the father of Sorsha and has three jobs; Mayor, lawyer, teacher.
• Ludo Carmichael (Alex Starke) – Ludo is Jake's best friend and the son of Crimson.
• Housekeeper Crimson Carmichael (Margaret Cabourn-Smith) - Housekeeper Crimson is apparently the 'Former Housekeeper', but doesn't seem to be leaving the manor any time soon. She is also the mother of Ludo.
• Esmerelda (Sharon Morgan) – Esmerelda is the new leader of the Everines after aunt Bridget 'died'. She is quite mysterious and very mean to Tara. She also has a strange preference for Bogvine tea.
• Aunt Bridget (Georgie Glen) – Bridget is Tara's aunt. She was the leader of the Everines. She faked her death so Tara can follow her destiny.
• Otto (Sammy Moore) – After causing 100 days of thunder, Otto, a demigod, was banished from his home. Tara is his first mortal friend.^[11]
• Lacie Fairburn (India Ria Amarteifio) – Lacie's parents are committed to the traditions of the village, and intend for her to become an Everine someday. However, she would rather become the mayor.^[11]
