When Zacharias condemns a villager to the pyre, a fragile peace falls over Eisbach. Katarin, drawn to the reverend’s mysterious presence, begins to hope for a better future. But her feelings are complicated by the arrival of Margaretha Katz, a midwife who stirs jealousy and suspicion.
As tragedy strikes and accusations rise, the village descends into chaos, and no one is safe from the burning stake.
