In the first "Spellbinder", a group of teenagers go to a school camp in the Blue Mountains. While at the camp, Paul Reynolds accidentally moves through a doorway between our universe and a parallel universe. This other world is inhabited by a more hierarchic and technologically different society, ruled by a group of people known as Spellbinders. Paul meets a girl there named Riana, and they become friends across their two universes.
The Spellbinders have discovered the power to create and manipulate static electricity. They fly in gigantic copper-colored machines that utilize large rotating orange crystals, presumably creating some form of magnetic levitation. As with all societies, the Spellbinders often use their power for good, but some abuse this power and use their discoveries for malevolence. One such malevolent Spellbinder is Ashka. She often gets away without her evil nature being discovered. Common people are often "banished" for their misdeeds, and sometimes spellbinders are banished also if they are proven to have done wrong.
The series draws its tension from Paul's forays into the land of the Spellbinders and his attempts to return to his own universe, and also from conversations Paul has with his friends across the barrier between the two universes. Paul's and Riana's escapes also add tension, as do the interactions between malevolent Spellbinders. Paul is eventually able to travel back to our universe. He is forced to take Riana with him in order to save her. Later, when Paul is able to take Riana back to her universe, the Spellbinder Ashka follows Paul into our universe as he later returns home. Ashka seeks the help of Paul's father in making her a new 'flying suit' to replace her Spellbinder suit which had been taken from her before she entered into our universe. Both Riana and Ashka are often frightened by the technology that exists in our world.
An interesting note is that many of the people from Riana's world speak in an almost Russian accent, with their names sounding vaguely Russian. This is because many of the scenes from the alternate universe were in fact filmed in Poland and featured Polish actors.
