Witchcraft

In the 17th century, the Lanier family accuses Vanessa Whitlock of witchcraft and has her buried alive. The act seeds a lifelong enmity between the Whitlocks and the Laniers that will haunt both families for generations. The bitter feud sets the tone for future confrontations.

Two young descendants, Amy Whitlock and Todd Lanier, fall in love despite the objections of Amy's stern uncle, Morgan Whitlock. Their romance challenges the old feud and risks tearing the two families apart. The relationship becomes a focal point for both sides' future actions.

Todd and Bill Lanier are building developers who plan to transform and renovate the old Whitlock estate. They proceed with their project unaware of the ancient animosities and occult forces tied to the property. The plans set the stage for subsequent clashes with the Whitlocks.

Myles Forrester orders workers to bulldoze headstones and graves in the old Whitlock Cemetery, enraging Morgan Whitlock. The act reopens long-buried wounds and reasserts the coven's role in the family feud. Tensions between the families escalate dramatically.

From an exhumed grave, Vanessa Whitlock emerges alive after three centuries. The Whitlocks revive their old religion to welcome her, and Morgan leads a coven that embraces Vanessa's return. The supernatural presence instantly alters the balance of power around the estate.

Using her hex powers, Vanessa helps the coven unleash curses that claim the lives of Myles Forrester and Aunt Helen. The killings solidify the coven's control and push the feud into a deadly new phase. Fear and superstition grip both families as the deaths mount.

Morgan is arrested as a suspect in the Forrester case, and the Laniers take Amy in to shield her while her uncle is in custody. The romance between Amy and Todd is strained further by the family crisis. Amy's safety becomes a leverage point in the ongoing conflict.

More incidents nearly take the lives of Bill, Todd, and their grandmother Malvina. The threats escalate as the coven's activities intensify around the Whitlock estate. The family presses on, seeking safety as the danger grows closer.

Bill's wife Tracy follows Amy into the Whitlock family crypt near the old mansion and witnesses the coven's rites, including infant sacrifice. Tracy is captured and tied up, intended as a human sacrifice. The discovery deepens the crisis, forcing a dramatic confrontation.

Bill and Todd enter the crypt to rescue Tracy, then Todd returns to search for Amy who remains involved in the rituals. The rescue operation exposes the full extent of the coven's grip on the Whitlock estate. The pursuit culminates in a tense confrontation among the relics and shadows.

As Amy's uncle is about to kill Todd, Amy is pushed past her breaking point and tips over a giant brazier. The blaze consumes Vanessa and the entire room, triggering a fire that spreads through the crypt and into the mansion. Todd can only watch as flames threaten everyone inside.

Todd joins his family outside and watches the Whitlock estate burn to the ground. The conflagration marks the end of the 300-year-old feud between the Whitlocks and Laniers. The scene closes on the ruin and an uncertain future for the families.
