Episode 1
It's Luke first day at Bremin High. His mum is the new acting vice-principal and there is a lot at stake as the family hopes to make Bremin their permanent home. The day is off to a strange start as Luke sees über cool Heath carrying two chickens into the school, then nearly gets hit in the head with a soccer ball by the queen of the soccer team and all round academic super star, Niccolina, 'Nicco' Pandelis. In the quadrangle Luke is met by Principal Bates who ropes Ben into showing Luke around. Luke soon realises that Ben is the school outsider and lacks any discernible social skills. In the school corridor Luke witnesses Jesse, budding star of stage and screen, and Brooklyn, the school's most popular, having a fight. It becomes clear to Luke that while Ben has a massive crush on Brooklyn, he has mistaken Brooklyn's politeness for a reciprocal attraction. Over the day Luke witnesses Ben's perceived humiliation by Principal Bates and is surprised when Brooklyn, trying to make Heath jealous, asks Luke out. All of this is par for the course for a new kid starting out in yet another new school, but the day becomes weird when Principal Bates disappears and no one seems to remember him, and weirder still when his mother seems to have replaced Bates as the new Principal. When Brooklyn and Peta also disappear, Luke discovers Heath, Jesse and Nicco also remember Bates and the girls, and they resolve to investigate. However, before they get too far there is a flash of white light and the gang find themselves in a strange version of Bremin - one where they appear to be the only people left in the world.

Episode 2
In Empty Bremin, Luke, Nicco, Heath and Jesse, have no phones, no power and no sign that they ever existed in this world. Their plan to find help is sabotaged and they are attacked by a sinister dark mass what does this dark presence want from them?

Episode 3
26 mins
In the Empty World, the gang are living off junk food and Jesse is not looking very well - he has a secret. He has diabetes and he's down to his last insulin pen. Nicco knows about his medical history, but Jesse, who can't stand the idea of being indebted to her, won't accept any help. Similarly, he doesn't want to tell the rest of the gang because he wants to fit in. Unfortunately, the one place Jesse may be able to get insulin is the chemist, but it's locked tight. Knowing Jesse needs to have fresh water and not sugary drinks, Nicco orchestrates a trip to the Bremin River. At the river the gang find the hideout and it becomes clear someone has been living there - someone who has a book of magic spells and scrapbooks of strange events that never happened in the gang's world. Luke lands on the idea that maybe the gang has been transported to an alternate reality - this is not their Bremin. Meanwhile, someone is lurking in the shadows stalking our gang. As Luke and Jesse test to see if there's a portal in the convenience store where they first disappeared, they spot the stalker and chase him down. It is Ben, - a very dishevelled Ben - seemingly transported to this Empty World along with the gang. The gang is suspicious, but when Ben works out how to get into the chemist, thus saving Jesse from a diabetic incident, they begin to trust him. Jesse and Nicco talk and it looks like the relationship will begin to mend. However, late at night Jesse sees Ben quietly leave the library. Ben is being lead by a translucent glowing representation of his grandfather. Jesse follows Ben and finds him in the secret lair. Ben has a lot of explaining to do.

Episode 4
25 mins
In the Empty World, Heath wakes to find Ben and Jesse gone. Fresh with the memory of last night's encounter with the dark matter, the gang arm themselves to go in search. They find Ben and Jesse in the secret lair and are amazed to find that not only is there a secret room inside the school, but it's full of magic books. Ben, who's read the books previously, tells them that for magic to work you need four elemental identities. To work out if they are these elements they try a spell and are surprised when it seems to work. But then things go horribly wrong creating an earthquake. The gang are completely freaked out - coming down to earth in the science room, they flick through magic books from the lair, and come across Felix's Book of Shadows. They realize that the Bremin Four, the original Nowhere Boys, also jumped to an alternate reality, confirming Luke's theory. But as they scour the Book of Shadows to find a way to get home they are dismayed to find the dimensional return spell is missing. All is not lost as Jesse finds the same spell in the book they found in the hideout. To do the spell everyone must put in their heart's desire - Nicco's soccer trophy, Ben's photo of his granddad, Jesse's audition form for a talent show, Luke's keys to the family home and Heath puts in his swimsuit magazine. When the spell fails it becomes clear that Heath's heart's desire is not the magazine, but Brooklyn, who has disappeared. The gang work out Brooklyn may also have been transported to the Empty World. At Brooklyn's house they miss Brooklyn and Peta, who have taken a car and are heading to the next town. However, luck is on their side as they find the girls broken down just out of town. They try to explain themselves to the girls, but the girls think they're mad. Just as Brooklyn and Peta are about to leave the dark matter attacks their car. Heath rescues Brooklyn and together the gang all say a protection spell which wards off the Mega Demon. Dazed and confused, the gang is distracted by the sound of an engine approaching. Fearful and confused they look up to see a Bremin school bus coming over the hill.

Episode 5
In the empty world, the gang are on the bus with Bates, keen to get away from the scene of the attack. Bates rationalises their story of the particle attack as severe weather and the kids are happy to let him take charge. But Luke spots Sonia by the side of the road. He calls out for Bates to stop and the bus screeches to a halt. Luke dives off, but there's no sign of Sonia anywhere. When they get back on the bus it won't start. As they walk back into town, Ben still wants to do the Dimensional Return Spell and Heath plucks a hair from Brooklyn's head. Brooklyn is furious, and in an attempt to smooth things over, Luke blurts out Heath needed her hair because she's his heart's desire. Heath's mortified and Luke finds himself on the outer. Finally, Bates leads them to their destination - Bremin High School. This is where they belong. Bates explains he has a theory - if they act normal, then everything will be normal. Perception is reality. They begrudgingly agree to give it a chance as Bates brings them into the classroom and assigns science class work. Bates sends Ben to get some notebooks and when he doesn't return, Jesse goes after him. He hears Ben talking to someone, and we see it's his dead Grandpa, but when Jesse turns the corner, Ben is alone. Returning to class Jesse tells Bates someone's in his office and when Bates is gone they start planning their next move. But Bates has locked the door. Luke pulls a grate away from a heating duct in the wall and crawls inside, Peta following. As Bates returns the others try to cover for the missing kids. But when Bates realises Peta and Luke are gone, he is furious. He locks the door again to go in search of them. Meanwhile, Peta wants to help the other kids escape, but Luke is focused on finding his mother. Luke leaves, but he's unaware he's being followed by Grandpa, who morphs into Sonia and tells Luke to help his friends. Back in the classroom, the rest of the gang see a darkening, ominous storm out the window, and Heath decides Luke's plan was a good one after all - escape via the ducts. But only Nicco and Heath make it out before Bates returns, increasingly unstable. In the ducts, Nicco and Heath argue over which way to go and end up mistakenly circling back to the science classroom. And back to Bates. Luke returns and together with Peta, they rig a fire and set off the fire alarm, which forces Bates to unlock the classroom door. As the kids make a run for it, the strange dark force menaces Bates and the gang save him with a spell. They bring Bates out onto the oval with them and they recite the dimensional return spell to take them home.

Episode 6
25 mins
The gang are home and everything is perfect, life couldn't be better, except for Nicco who questions if this really is their Bremin. Discovering they're actually suspended in a dream state, the gang manages to wake themselves up and find the right spell to get home.

Episode 7
The gang perform the real Dimensional Return spell and they arrive back in the Real World. At first they see only an empty school, but then the bell sounds and school kids pour out of the front doors and onto the oval. The spell that sent them to the Empty World has been broken and the fabric of reality has been restored. Ben (Real World), who had become a cool kid, now finds himself back at the bottom of totem pole, Sonia is no longer Principal, and the SRC election poster changes from Sarah back to Brooklyn. As the gang head off at top speed to check if they really are back in their world. Ben (Empty World) goes home and reunites with his mother (who thinks he is Ben (RW)). This has been what Ben (EW) has been wishing for those long 12 months alone, but Ben (RW) interrupts his homecoming. Ben (EW) runs. Ben (RW) finds Ben (EW) hiding in the garage and has many questions. When Ben (RW) comes to terms with the fact that Ben (EW) is from another reality, he offers him a proposition - they combine forces - double the magic, double the fun. But Ben (EW) wants nothing to do with this and as a result he is locked in a cupboard. Meanwhile the gang find they have strange elemental powers: Nicco has the power of controlling particles of earth - moving sand; Heath can transfer heat through solids - supercharging them; Luke is air and he can levitate; but Jesse's annoyed that he can't do anything - yet. With Ben (EW) out of the way, Ben (RW) impersonates him in order to gather information from the gang - their reappearance jeopardises his newfound popularity and he plans to send them back to the Empty World as soon as he can. Ben (EW) finally breaks out of the cupboard and discovers he has his own power - he can see Ben (RW)'s plan through touch. Ben (EW) finds Heath and Nicco, but before he can give them the whole story, Heath attacks him - having been told by Luke that Ben (EW) is a shape-shifter. Nicco however wants to hear Ben (EW) out and, for the first time, Ben (EW) tells them the whole story - he's not the Ben from their world, but from the empty world. He discovered the lair and magic a year ago, but needed Luke to come to the school, as he was the fourth element. Then full of petty grievances, he started disappearing people who had slighted him, but it got out of control and very soon the magic disappeared everyone and he was all alone. Things culminate in a showdown between Ben (RW) and Ben (EW) and the gang. But when the duelling talisman's powers cross, both Bens disappear - the gang don't know where they have gone but know that they must get them back.

Episode 8
The gang are in an uproar immediately after the Bens have disappeared, trying to work out what the hell happened to them and the Talisman. Meanwhile, in the Empty World, Ben (RW) is totally freaked out and Ben (EW) is furious, wanting nothing to do with Ben (RW). Ben (RW) doesn't understand what has happened or where all the people of Bremin have gone. As night falls, Ben (EW) hurries to the school - he wants Ben (RW) to keep the hell away from him. To make matters worse, the Empty World is deteriorating with regular earth tremors. Next morning in the Real World, Quinn notices Jesse has an odd looking pattern on his back. Quinn takes it for a particularly nasty rash, not realising it's a parasite from the Empty World. The Empty World continues to deteriorate and Ben (EW) still wants nothing to do with Ben (RW). When a tremor knocks a shelf on top of Ben (EW), trapping him, Ben (RW) offers his help. Feeling indebted, Ben (EW) softens and agrees they should work as a team. The Bens separate in order to gather supplies, but when the gang opens a portal linking the two worlds, only Ben (RW) sees it - and without a second thought, escapes through it back into the Real World. When the gang ask after Ben (EW), Ben (RW) claims he was eaten by a monster. Ben (EW) is once again the last person in the Empty World. A little suss about Ben's (RW) story and still concerned about Ben (EW), the gang plan to jump into the Empty World and make one final sweep. Ben (EW) however does his upmost to thwart them by stealing the talisman and the gang give chase to retrieve it. When they finally make the jump to the Empty World, the tremors have gotten worse. The gang can't locate Ben (EW) anywhere, but then finally find evidence of him - he's at the hideout. The gang discover Ben (EW) hanging for his life on the edge of a cliff - the tremors having knocked him over. Jesse jumps to it and, with the help of the others, rescues Ben (EW). The gang arrive back in the Real World only to find Ben (RW) lying in wait for them. He hurriedly recites a spell to turn them all into statues. Ben (EW) is furious - he leaps at Ben (RW) who freaks out - the two Bens must never touch. In the mayhem, Ben (EW) grabs the book and turns the spell back on Ben (RW). Ben (RW) is frozen like a statue and hidden from the world in the hideout. Later, Ben (EW) and the gang are leaving the hideout when we see the parasites that attached themselves to the gang while in their dream state fall from their backs and land in the long grass, twitching.
Episode 9
It's a new day and the gang are playing with their elemental powers at school, but when Luke returns from checking on frozen Ben (RW), he freaks - they need to keep magic a secret. The gang worry about what will happen if Ben (RW) wakes up, fearing they wont be able to tell the two Bens apart. But Ben (EW) has a solution, they perform a truth spell on him, and they'll always be able to tell. Heath tries to read the spell but he mixes up the words. The others don't notice and believe the spell was a fail. Later in class, Heath is questioned by Bates and finds himself uncontrollably blurting out all of his bad behaviour. The next day the gang regroup on the bus heading for camp. It's been the same for Luke, Jesse and Nicco - they have to tell the truth whenever someone asks them a direct question. They realise the truth spell backfired and are desperate to fix it, but Bates not only stops Heath from getting the Book of Shadows, but he makes Heath his slave as punishment for all his pranks. The gang's stuck - they need privacy to be able to work out how to undo the spell. Meanwhile back at the Hideout, the parasites that fell from the gang's backs turn into Mini Demons and wake up Ben (RW). The gang are unaware of the potential danger and remain focused on fixing the spell. Nicco offends Heath when he asks her a direct question. He retaliates with his own honesty and the group begins to fracture. While orienteering the talisman starts glowing and the gang are freaked. They don't realise it, but it's Ben (RW) and the Mini Demons. Luckily Ellen's nearby and frightens off Ben (RW). The gang try to undo the spell, but Ellen interrupts - they're doing it all wrong. The gang's shocked to learn she knows about magic and Ellen uses the truth spell to get some answers on their magic exploits before she shows them how to undo it. Later that night, when everyone is asleep, the Mini Demons - drawn to the talisman - attack Nicco. The gang rush to her aid, but only Heath has the protection spell. As the gang try to fight the Mini Demons off, Heath is forced to admit he can't read. On the trip home, Heath is ashamed by his revelation, believing he's stupid, but Luke thinks he has dyslexia. The gang rally around him and their understanding buoys Heath. However the reunited gang have a problem - the Mini Demons are still out there.
Episode 10
On the way to school Jesse gets a call from the Bremin Amateur Musical Theatre Society - he has an audition and he's sure this is going to be his big break. Fresh from their fight with the Mini Demons, the gang try to work out what they are. When Jesse arrives they ask if he checked on Ben (RW), but Jesse forgot - he's got to get busy preparing for his audition. Strange things start to happen around school - Nicco and Heath are in Home Economics class when Heath's eggs start exploding and Nicco accidentally covers Brooklyn in bacon. In the hall, the wind catches Luke's locker door, flinging it open and straight into Peta's face. The Mini Demons are creating mayhem and feeding off the negative energy this creates. Heath catches one of the Mini Demons and takes it to Ellen. She identifies it as an Atridax, a malevolent entity that brings trouble. The gang hatches a plan to catch the rest of the Atridax before they destroy the school and seal them in their bags with magical charms supplied by Ellen. Ascertaining it's best to keep the Atridax apart, the gang each takes one, unaware the Atridax are turning them negative and feeding off it. Under the influence of the Atridax the gang become increasingly negative - parents are rotten, homework is a waste of time and school a dead bore - Jesse is the only one who holds out, but when the gang give him a tough time just before his audition, he gives in to it too. The negative version of Jesse arrives at the audition - not taking direction, not looking like he cares. At the end of the audition, the gang are waiting for him - they are a gang of four - the evil emperors of Bremin High. Ben (EW) realises the gang are being influenced by the Atridax and fears they really might go too far. He runs to Ellen for help. The gang is out to cause major damage and set fire to the school. Ellen uses her cloud power to distract them and Ben (EW) steals Jesse's Atridax from him. Jesse gives chase, but now separated from the Atridax, Ellen reaches out to Jesse, bringing him back to his normal self. Teaming with Ellen, Jesse (muttering his affirmations under his breath) wrestles the backpacks from Nicco and Heath. But the police arrive just as Jesse gets Luke's Atridax from him and he comes to his senses too late. Caught fleeing the scene, Sergeant Roberts arrests Luke for vandalizing the school. Jesse stashes the bags in the bushes and the gang comes together to watch Luke being put into the back of the police car and taken away.

Episode 11
While Luke is held at the Police Station, Heath, Jesse and Nicco discover the bags holding the mini demons have disappeared. They need the Scrying Pool to find them, but can't use the magic without Luke. With the clock ticking, and fears growing about what havoc the Atridax might cause while AWOL, the gang sneak Luke out. There is a hiccup with the Scrying Pool, but the teens unscramble a valuable lead and realise that the Atridax are at the Police Station. With night falling, they head home, where Jesse discovers the "ringworm scar" left on his back, is the same pattern as the symbol the Mega Demon left in the Empty World. The next day, with Ellen's help, the teens come to the awful realisation they brought the Atridax with them from the Empty World. Fearing what will happen if the mini demons get loose in town, the team must find a way of getting them back. But there is a serious impediment to their plans - having been caught sneaking out, Luke is now being sent door-knocking for charity, as punishment. When Luke's father insists on driving him out of Bremin, the teens take action, flagging down the car. Luke convinces Brett to let him go with his friends, making a "trust" deal that takes their father-son relationship to a new level of maturity. Perhaps he can count on his dad after all. The mission to liberate the Atridax from the Police Station is successful, but ultimately all of the teens are forced to confess to starting the fire at the school - one trying to save another in a cascade of bad planning. Fed up to the eyeballs, Sergeant Roberts handballs the problem to Mr. Bates, who promises a lifetime of community service for the woe begotten teens. As they hurry away they make a stunning discovery: the bags are empty. Someone has stolen the Atridax.

Episode 12
The gang are on the hunt for the missing talisman. They realise Kayla has it, but it's too late, she's been tricked by bad Ben and gets sucked inside the Demon egg. Will Nicco be able to get her sister out without unleashing the Demon on the world?

Episode 13
As the gang, having recovered Kayla from the egg, begins to take her home, Sonia arrives and Luke has no choice but to go with her. Sonia asks Luke to tell her what is going on with him. Luke can't, and as Sonia expresses her disappointment, she disappears. Luke, panicked, races for his Dad, but he too suddenly disappears. The Mega Demon appears and enraged Luke tries to attack him but his powers are gone. At Nicco's house, Nicco fusses over Kayla. But Kayla speaks strangely: Give. Me. Earth. Ben (EW) suggests using his power, and when he touches her he sees the Mega Demon's thoughts - it wants Kayla, at the altar. Kayla tries to escape and as the gang chase after her, they see people disappearing. It's started. The Demon's devouring the world. As Nicco leads Kayla back to the house, Kayla begs her sister to tie her up, to prevent her from going to the demon. Called by the Demon, Kayla fights against the rope tying her up, and dirt pours from her. They realise Kayla has the earth element Atridax inside her. When Anna returns home the gang can no longer stay there. Outside Nicco's house, they reunite with Luke who's with Ellen, and as he tells them what has happened he accidentally sucks all the air out of the bus. Ellen believes he hasn't lost his power; he's just lost control of it. At the hideout the gang are about to try a reversal spell on Kayla, but Heath has a realisation. If the demon's not fully formed - it's weak, they can fight it. Taking the form of Grandpa, the Demon calls Ben (EW) away. Ben (EW) refuses to help "Grandpa" and he retaliates. The gang run inside the Hideout and hold off the Demon attack with the protection spell. Jesse calls on Claudia to baby-sit Kayla as the gang form a new plan - they will go to the forest and they will try to destroy the Mega Demon by forcing it through a portal. Ellen suggests they need enchanted earth to trap it. Nicco knows exactly where to find it and as they return home to get the dirt that spilled from Kayla, Nicco witnesses her mother disappear. Arriving at the forest, Ellen disappears too, but the gang soldier on regardless. Ben (EW) lures the Mega Demon to him and the gang manages to trap it, but just as they are opening a portal - Kayla appears. The Demon pulls the Atridax from Kayla and becomes whole, breaking their magic barrier. Luke sucks the Demon inside himself and battles to stay in control. With his friends support he keeps it together long enough to blast the Demon into the portal. It is destroyed, leaving Ben (RW) dazed on the ground, but unhurt. The gang has won. The next day they say goodbye to Ben (EW), opening a portal back to his now re-populated world, then return to their punishment for damaging the school. As they pick up rubbish, they joke about being super heroes who saved the world, even if no one else can ever know.
