New England, 1630: An English farmer (Ralph Ineson - Game of Thrones, The Green Knight) - upon threat of banishment by the church - leaves his colonial plantation and relocates to a remote plot, surrounded by an ominous forest, with his wife (Kate Dickie - Prevenge, Red Road) and their children... But deep in the dark woods lurks an unknown evil.
Strange and unsettling things start to occur, animals turn malevolent, crops start to fail. Then one of the children disappears and another becomes worryingly sick, could he be possessed by an evil spirit? With mounting paranoia, suspicion falls on eldest daughter Thomasin (Joy - The Queen's Gambit, Last Night in Soho) and they accuse her of witchcraft... then darkness descends.
