Synopsis

In a small Massachusetts town, the Owens women have always been seen as outsiders, blamed for every misfortune. Sisters Gillian and Sally grew up under this shadow, yearning to escape the whispers of witchcraft that followed their family. One finds escape in marriage, the other by running away, but the powerful bond between them, almost like magic, eventually draws them back home.
