Salem, MA, 1692. In a dark cabin, a woman gives birth to a child that is quickly stolen away. The mother cries as a deformed figure absconds with the infant. Her screams echo through the town. Soon, Reverend Hawthorne sees an ominous plume of red smoke rising from the woods, where the thief headed. Everyone knows: witches are responsible. Reverend Hawthorne forms a posse, raids the coven, captures the witches and brutally slaughters them all...Flash forward to present day. Heidi Hawthorne is a 37-year-old FM radio DJ and a recovering drug addict. She is also a direct descendant of Reverend Hawthorne. One day at work Heidi receives an anonymous gift in the form of a mysteriously shaped wooden box, which she believes to be a promotional record for a band that identifies themselves only as The Lords. There is no other information. She decides to play it on her radio show as a joke, but as soon as she does, horrible things begin to happen. The music awakens something evil in all the descendents of those who murdered the witches in 1692. Soon enough, terrifying murders begin to happen all around Heidi. Is she losing her mind? Who are The Lords? What do they want? As Heidi plunges down into a terrifying world where blood flows freely and chaos reigns, only one thing is for sure--all Hell is about to break loose.
