Fear of Satan becomes murder in the name of God.
Newly orphaned, the God-fearing and heart-broken Lois is sent across the Atlantic to live with her uncleοΏ½s family in Salem, but on her arrival she finds herself the object of cruel hostility, potent jealousy and mad desire.
When the local PastorοΏ½s daughters are contorted and convulsed by apparently satanic powers, the whole town is whipped into a hysterical witch hunt. And when LoisοΏ½s cousins start to resent her presence in their household, life becomes precarious and an old womanοΏ½s curse returns to haunt her.
