In the 1700s in colonial Massachusetts, a local priest is possessed by a demon who he has a tried making a deal with so he can manipulate his colony. The demon tells the people to do insane and inhuman acts (drinking blood, killing the neighbor Indians) but the townspeople listen despite some reluctance. The demon kills a certain amount of people who oppose him. However a young teen named Emma who is an outcast of the town and a group of her fellow outcasts attempt to expose him to no avail. They eventually take manners even further and try to exorcise the demon but it fails and the demon kills them off one by one in grotesque and horrific manners, and Emma the lone survivor is forced to kill the possessed priest. However freed from a demon, a townsperson witnesses the act of murder and Emma is hung for her crime and to her horror, she realizes seconds before she’s hung an unholy cackle coming from another member of the crowd realizing the demon is still alive.
