Will Connor returns to his hometown, a small village north of Boston, to care for his aging mother. He’s kept his distance from the town since childhood, but once back home he finds himself taking another look at a mysterious death that took place during one of his mother’s “spirit circles.” His mother had embraced the hippie generation’s fascination with new age and witchcraft, but the unexpected death of a close friend put an end to the meetings of the modern-day coven. Or did it? As Will looks deeper into his family’s history he discovers that her practices weren’t so much a passing fad but the latest link in a long tradition of New England witchcraft, which still seems to hold a power over the town. Will hopes that finding answers to the death will put his questions to rest, there are those who are willing to resort to violence to keep those secrets buried.
