Mexico. Early 19th century. She is the master's wife. He's a priest keeping a dark secret. Their paths should never have crossed so closely, but Evil has left them no choice.
After the War of Independence ends, young Beatrice finds herself in a predicament: her father is murdered, their home burned down, and she and her mother are forced to serve noble relatives. Everything changes when Rodolfo Solorsano, a wealthy landowner, proposes to her. And it doesn't matter that the death of his first wife looks suspicious. Beatrice needs a home of her own. But the estate - hacienda San Isidro - turns out to be not at all the refuge the girl was looking for. Since her husband's departure, every night she is overcome by nightmares that are too similar to reality. Juana, Rodolfo's sister, laughs at Beatriz's fears. But then why does she herself refuse to enter the house as night falls? Why does the cook decorate the kitchen doorway with strange symbols and burn copal incense to drive away evil spirits? And what really happened to the first Dona Solorzano? Beatriz turns to Padre Andres for help. The young priest, who hides from everyone his true nature as a witch doctor, feels an irresistible forbidden attraction to the girl. He must do the unthinkable to protect her and purge the hacienda of darkness. If they lose, the fire of the Inquisition awaits him, and her - eternal imprisonment within the walls of this house...
