Paranoia reaches fever pitch as the demonic conspiracy terrorizing Salem Village grows, leaving no one safe. Boston jail fills with suspected witches, and the accused face execution if found guilty.
The Salem witch trials finally begin with the case against Bridget Bishop, who is quickly found guilty and sentenced to death by hanging; her death is not enough to quell the hysteria, and five more women are tried and executed within a month.
The witch trials and executions continue throughout the summer but are suddenly halted when the Massachusetts elite are accused of witchcraft. As the prisoners are released, Salem must deal with the aftermath.
