Joan Mitchell, a restless housewife, suffers under the weight of an indifferent husband and her own mounting age-related anxieties. Seeking liberation, she explores the occult through a local group, eventually finding companionship with her daughter's arrogant friend, Gregg Williamson. As her domestic life crumbles and her daughter disappears, Joan retreats into a fractured reality fueled by spell casting and illicit intimacy. She attempts to seize control of her environment, but her blurring perception of the world leads her to commit a devastating act of violence against her own family, ultimately solidifying her identity within a mysterious coven.
