As BHS senior, Jaycie Brogdon, tries to navigate the turbulence of her community coming undone, she discovers cracks within the seams of her own family.
Blame begins to shift inward, as residents within the community are certain Martin Welch's murderer is one of their own. Fingers point toward Stuart Reinhart, the Blair High School's literature teacher. Tensions rise as it is suggested that the books in Mr. Reinhart's lessons are deemed as inappropriate, even immoral. This opens the door for history to repeat itself in Blair. The town's past is unearthed, as the heart of a witch once used as a scapegoat continues to beat, allowing fear and hatred to make some of Blair's residents grow a thirst for retribution.
