For more than 200 years, the Owens women have been blamed for everything that has ever gone wrong in their town. It all began with their ancestor, Maria, who was suspected of being a witch. This Craft has passed to every generation to sisters Frances and Jet, their nieces, Gillian and Sally and her two daughters. The women in the family never give birth to boys and have a curse upon the family .Any man who would fall in love with an Owens woman would die tragically, because of the death beetle.
Most of the women in their town are apprehensive of their lifestyle and view them as evil and as a connection to the Devil.
As the movie progresses, Gillian's boyfriend Jimmy turns abusive and kidnaps her and Sally. Sally uses Belladona (usually put in tea to help you relax) in his alcohol to knock him out, but puts in too much and accidentally kills him. The sisters resurrect him using a spell from their Aunts' magic book; a spell the Aunts refused to use to bring back Sally's recently deceased husband, for fears he would come back dark and unnatural. These fears are confirmed and Sally is forced to kill Jimmy a second time, this time hitting him on the head with a frying pan.
His soul is restless and soon begins to haunt the sisters. With the absence of the Aunts, Sally and Gillian are helpless and soon under investigation by the law with the arrival of Officer Gary Hallett.
