A centuries-old curse hangs over the Owens family, decreeing that any man who falls in love with an Owens woman is doomed to die an untimely death. Raised by their eccentric, pragmatic aunts, Jet and Frances, orphaned sisters Sally and Gillian grow up facing isolation in their coastal Massachusetts town. Sally yearns for an ordinary, mundane life devoid of magic, desperately trying to shield her heart. In contrast, free-spirited Gillian longs for passion and adventure, eventually fleeing their restrictive home to experience the world on her own terms.Years later, an adult Sally lives a seemingly conventional life running a botanical shop and raising two young daughters. However, her carefully constructed world shatters when her beloved husband, Michael, is struck by a truck and killed, fulfilling the family prophecy. Devastated, Sally retreats back to her aunts' sprawling Victorian home, vowing never to love again. Meanwhile, Gillian’s wild lifestyle takes a dark and dangerous turn when she falls in with Jimmy Angel, a charismatic yet violently abusive drifter who beats and controls her.Desperate for help, Gillian calls Sally, who immediately drives across the country to rescue her. When Jimmy confronts them, refusing to let Gillian go, a frantic struggle ensues. In self-defense, the sisters accidentally poison Jimmy with belladonna, thinking they have finally escaped his cruelty. Panicked and fearing the law, they attempt a reckless, forbidden resurrection spell in their cellar to bring him back. The ritual goes horribly wrong, reanimating Jimmy as a malevolent, possessed corpse that threatens their lives, forcing them to destroy him once and for all and bury his body in the backyard.Their troubles escalate when Gary Hallet, a sharp-witted investigator from Arizona, arrives in town tracking Jimmy's final movements. As Gary digs into the disappearance, he and Sally unexpectedly fall in love, igniting terror in Sally as she watches the curse threaten yet another man she cares about. Simultaneously, Jimmy's dark spirit begins possessing Gillian, slowly eroding her sanity and turning her against her own family.Rather than fleeing, Sally decides to embrace her heritage rather than fight it. Gathering the townswomen who once shunned them, the Owens sisters orchestrate a powerful coven ritual to banish Jimmy’s spirit for good. By openly admitting their magic and standing together in solidarity, they break the fatal family curse once and for all, proving that love and sisterhood are far stronger than ancient superstition.
