A vengeful young soldier sets out to stop a ruthless witch-hunter who has brutally murdered his uncle and is now threatening his fiancée.

In a tumultuous England, the struggle for power between the Royalists and Parliament distracts the population, allowing ruthless individuals to exploit superstitions and amass power. Matthew Hopkins, a merciless witch hunter, travels the country with his accomplice John Stearne, forcing confessions from innocent people to enrich himself and gain favors. When Hopkins targets a priest, he draws the ire of Richard Marshall, who will stop at nothing to bring the evil duo to justice.
