The movie starts out back when Merlin was alive and Balthazar Blake, Maxim Horvath, and Veronica were all his apprentices. However, Horvath betrays Merlin to his arch-nemesis Morgana but Veronica performed a spell to take Morgana’s “soul” into herself. Knowing that Veronica’s body could never hold Morgana, Balthazar captured them into a set of nesting dolls (Grimhold) until the ancestor of Merlin’s blood could destroy her. 

The movie then fast forwards to New York City year 2000, where a 10-year-old student Dave Stutler runs into Balthazar in a Manhattan antique store. Balthazar discovers that Dave is the Prime-Merlinian but before he can explain to him what he is Dave accidentally opens the Grimhold releasing Horvath. While fighting over the Grimhold, Balthazar and Horvath end up imprisoned in an ancient Chinese urn that has a 10 year lock. When Dave runs out of the store screaming, he is ridiculed by his classmates who believe he imaged it all. 

2010, 10 years after the incident at the store, Dave is now a physic student at New York University. After Balthazar and Horvath are released from the urn, they both begin to hunt down Dave, who was the last one seen holding the Grimhold that Morgana resides in. Dave finds himself once more throne into the world of magic and the fight against its dark forces.
