As the Thirty Years' War rages across the continent, the German town of Coserow is plagued by Imperial soldiery. The townsfolk suffer under the rapacious troops, and rumours of supernatural activity abound. When Pastor Schweidler and his daughter Maria strike unexpected wealth with their discovery of a rich vein of amber in the hills, they delight in their good fortune. But Maria has spurned the Sheriff's attentions, and he is determined to have his revenge. As the febrile atmosphere intensifies, she finds herself accused of witchcraft, and put on trial for her life.
