      England in the 1630s: turbulent and fearful times. John Brigge, a farmer and coroner respected in his North Country community, stays discreetly silent about his Catholic faith. When called to adjudicate on the murder of a new-born child, Brigge finds himself drawn into matters he would rather avoid. Irishwoman Katherine Shay is accused of killing her baby, and the town's powerful Puritan faction demands her immediate death. But Brigge suspects their haste has little to do with a quest for justice.
