In 2023, Sarah Reynolds, a medium and palliative care nurse, is called to care for the dying Henry Husk by his daughter, Liz. Long-buried memories begin to surface, revealing a shocking connection to the witch persecutions of 1653.
When Husk dies under mysterious circumstances, Sarah finds herself accused of his murder. As the trial unfolds, two lifetimes collide, exposing the truth behind those branded as witches and the people who condemned them.
