They were an unlikely duo. Abigail was wrongly hanged for withcraft in the 17th century. Emma is just your ordinary modern-day emotionally disturbed kid. When they meet, their friendship becomes deadly—very deadly! There was nothing to hint at Bridgewater’s sinister past. It was just a typical Connecticut town with a village green and a lovely cemetery dating back hundreds of years. Yet there was no indication of the witchhunts of the 17th century or the accusations and hangings as a means of getting rid of unwanted neighbors or enemies.
