Star-crossed rouge lovers living in New England in Massachusetts battle their socioeconomic classes above all of the critiques. Their love and agony grow into violation and obsession which lead them into their untimely doom.

Victor Thomas Levine is a handsome rich suitor during the Salem Witch Trials. He is a part of a prominent family yet he is vacant and alone. Victor is always surrounded by young and frivolous rich girls but he is apathetic to them. Nothing surprises him anymore and he has grown to detest that about the debutantes. He meets a poor virginal girl name Miranda. Soon his love for Miranda becomes a scandal in the aristocratic community. Victor’s obsession crazes him to the point of a suicidal pact. If he can not have Miranda, no one can.

Miranda is a sultry beautiful naïve poor girl working in the labor cans in Massachusetts. One day, while working through the blazing heat in the camps, Miranda sets her eyes on young Victor. There lives change instantly. Victor wants a chance to better himself as a human being while Miranda wants a better life away from the poor labor grounds. She naively teases Victor and manipulates a love in which he invents to be a great love story. Doomed for their socioeconomic and racial class, Miranda naively stands behind Victor whom she denies she loves yet she looses her virginity to him. Miranda gets pregnant.

Both in their malicious and sardonic manner, Victor and Miranda tragically fall in love with each other. Victor’s family vehemently denies Miranda as Victor’s lover and shuts him out of his rights. Embittered by his by his parents’ betrayal and his moral embarrassment of having committed the crime of sex before marriage with Miranda, he lures her into a suicide pact only which Miranda backs out due to her advance pregnancy. Everyone in the town knows she is pregnant. Miranda’s water prematurely breaks and  Victor delivers his daughter in a ravine. The weak baby dies three hours later leaving her parents devastated. Miranda is terribly week after giving birth. She realizes how much in his own sick and demented mind how much Victor loves her and how much she loves him. Victor buries his daughter and reinstates the suicide pact with Miranda. Miranda realizes she is at a dead end. Their only chance of ever being happy is dead and returning in another life. If they return to the village, they will be sentenced to death for witchcraft. Miranda agrees to die if it is alongside Victor, her one true love. Victor is satisfied that at least they birthed their daughter with love, sincerity, and excitement.

The love story takes precedent during the Salem Witch Trials. The lives of Victor and Miranda cross paths as years before , Miranda’s mother, a plantation slave named Clementine, killed Victor’s older brother after he raped her at his estate. Clementine, a woman known to enhance her powers with voodoo and sorcery, Clementine avenged his death one night he entered her house in the woods. Her young daughter witnesses the death of Victor’s brother. When the Levine’s capture her, they sentence her to death by hanging. On the day of her execution, she foresees the futures of her daughter and the older Levine’s  youngest son and brands them with the curse that sets in the path of karmic discovery for five lifespans until they are able to eradicate the curse set by St. Clementine.
