After married man John Proctor decides to break off his affair with his young lover, Abigail Williams, she leads other local girls in an occult rite to wish death upon his wife, Elizabeth . When the ritual is discovered, the girls are brought to trial. Accusations begin to fly, and a literal witch hunt gets underway.
