Nel 1612, una giovane donna corre nei boschi del Lancashire con una lettera che segna il tradimento del marito Richard. Fleetwood, signora di Gawthorpe Hall, ha già subito tre aborti e spera di avere finalmente un erede. Scopre però che Richard, avvertito dal medico dei rischi fatali di un'altra gravidanza, le ha nascosto questa informazione cruciale. Ferita e confusa, si chiede se avere un erede sia davvero l'unica cosa che conta per lui. Durante la sua fuga nei boschi, incontra Alice Gray, una misteriosa ragazza dagli occhi d'ambra, esperta di erbe e levatrici. Le due donne sviluppano un legame profondo, ma Alice è oggetto di voci inquietanti: si dice che si aggiri di notte e compia riti con animali selvatici, e molti la considerano una strega. Fleetwood, tuttavia, percepisce che l'unica colpa di Alice è la sua povertà e superstizione. Decide quindi di rischiare tutto per salvarla, anche se ciò significa opporsi al marito e alla sua cerchia. In un'epoca di accuse e sospetti, essere donna rappresenta il rischio più grande.
