It is soon revealed that a witch has stolen the unbaptized Samuel, killing him and using his body to make a flying ointment. One day, when Thomasin is playing peekaboo with Samuel, the baby abruptly disappears.
The family builds a farm near a large, secluded forest and Katherine bears her fifth child, Samuel. In 1630s New England, English settler William and his family-wife Katherine, daughter Thomasin, son Caleb, and fraternal twins Mercy and Jonas-are banished from a Puritan colony over a religious dispute.
