College student, Nan Barlow (Venetia Stevenson) is researching the history of witchcraft. Taunted by her brother and fiance, who have voiced their concern over her silly notions, Nan arms herself with resolve and drives into the small New England village of Whitewood. She is glad that at least she was able to count on the support of her professor (Christopher Lee). A bit anxious but consumed with curiosity, she will soon embark herself on the journey of her life!
