Right after graduation, Stephanie fled from the backwater town of Marley to Montreal, hoping to finally forget about her drinking mother, a poor life in a shabby little house, a cheating boyfriend, and silly stories about a witch supposedly living in the nearby forests.

And do the local legends really not lie—and is the town truly cursed?
