The story takes place in New England in the 1630s. Because he could not agree with the church's practices, the devout Puritan William (Ralph Ineson) was expelled from the plantation and forced to take his wife Catherine (Kate Dickie) with him. Kate Dickie) and his children moved to a deserted place. They started from scratch and went through hardships, and the unexpected disappearance of their infant son casts a lingering shadow on the family's hearts. The weather was bad, the crops failed, and the relationship between the husband and wife was strained. Catherine was on the verge of breaking down because of her missing child. During this period, the eldest daughter Thomasin (Anya Taylor-Joy), who feels the main responsibility for the disappearance of the child, has a heavy heart, and soon after, the older brother Caleb (Harvey Scrimshaw) Harvey Scrimshaw (played by Harvey Scrimshaw) encounters a witch in the depths of the jungle and becomes deranged.

William: Was it not for the pure and faithful dispensation of the Gospels, and the Kingdom of God?
Old Slater: No more! We are *your* judges, and not you ours!
William: I cannot be judged by false Christians, for I have done nothing, save preach Christ's true Gospel.
Governor: Must you continue to dishonor the laws of the commonwealth and the church with your prideful conceit?
William: If my conscience sees it fit.
Governor: Then shall you be banished out of this plantation's liberties!
William: I would be glad of it.
Governor: Then take your leave, and trouble us no further.

William: [turning to leave] Katherine...

Mercy: Liar! Liar!
Thomasin: I am.
Caleb: List' not to her, Mercy.
Thomasin: I am that very witch. When I sleep my spirit slips away from my body and dances naked with The Devil. That's how I signed his book.
Mercy: No!
Thomasin: He bade me bring him an unbaptized babe, so I stole Sam, and I gave him to my master. And I'll make any man or thing else vanish I like.
