A finales del siglo XVII, en Salem, Nueva Inglaterra, Elizabeth Stewart es acusada de brujería y condenada a muerte. Trescientos años más tarde, Kim Stewart, una atractiva enfermera, hereda la finca de su antepasada y decide trasladarse allí en compañía de Edward, un investigador científico. Animados por el hallazgo de unos extraños hongos que aparentemente poseen propiedades terapéuticas, Edward y un grupo de científicos instalan un moderno laboratorio en la finca y proyectan convertir la especie en un fármaco cuya comercialización les rendirá una fortuna. Mientras tanto, Kim se dedica a investigar en los archivos históricos del lugar y descubre que Elizabeth utilizaba esos mismos hongos en sus preparados culinarios y que fue conducida a la hoguera por provocar estados de posesión diabólica. Inevitablemente, surgen preguntas inquietantes: ¿Acaso esos misteriosos hongos estimulan el despertar de los instintos más primarios? ¿Acaso pueden revivir repentinamente al hombre depredador que todos llevamos dentro?.
