1750, Marystown, Virginia. Jeremiah arrives in a dying town to begin his indenture for one of the last remaining families. Forced to adhere to bizarre rules and rituals for his own survival, Jeremiah is taunted by strange secrets from the land that it seems only he can see. Is the haunting because of a local witch, or is it a timeless curse on the land itself? Will it claim the last inhabitants, or will they survive the brutal, wild woods?
