In the year 1694, the town of Fallsbury, Massachusetts is shaken to its foundations by accusations of witchcraft and devil worship. Two sisters, Olive and Genevieve Goode, are living quiet lives in the midst of the chaos.
Their father Jeremiah, a violent alcoholic, has fallen on hard times since the death of his wife Sybille. To support themselves, the sisters have picked up house work for the town Minister, Elias Smith, and formed a close bond with his daughter, Ester. But the Minister, being a man of god, does not want his daughter corrupted. And the god he serves demands a price for disobedience…
When Genevieve goes missing, Olive takes matters into her own hands, with the help of others along the way, to find her.
