Father Cade Fr?d?ric, a devoted priest haunted by his own inner monster, arrives in the seemingly idyllic town of Festival?, Vermont. Tasked with eradicating the evil that plagues its streets, he finds himself drawn to Amaya Paquette, a captivating enigma who dances under the guise of Esmeralda by night.
As Cade wrestles with his growing obsession and the belief that she wields witchcraft, Amaya battles her fears of abandonment, yearning for love yet shying away from connection. Caught in a web of temptation, Cade must confront his darkest desires. In a heart-wrenching twist, he may have to choose between destroying the woman he loves or succumbing to the very darkness he seeks to vanquish.
