For a hundred years, Clearwater Township has held its “Heavenly Wedding.” The chosen bride looks like she's living the dream—but she's really a live sacrifice to protect the whole county from disaster. Twin sisters Lana Mercer and Madison Carter are reborn together. On the big day, Madison snatches Lana's red rope, tricks the officiant Steven Gale, and gets to be the bride. That night, weird noises come from the ancestral chapel. Overnight, Madison's belly swells—everyone thinks she's carrying a spirit child, but she's actually being corrupted by evil energy. Bad luck spreads through the whole county. The river goes foul, and everyone's covered in red rashes. Lana awakens her divine power and the tracing art “Sadie Cunningham.” She gathers herbs on the mountain to heal the people. At night, she sneaks into the ancestral chapel and discovers the black jade pendant sealed in the statue—the evil object from a century ago, when a corrupt official sacrificed children to seal the river demon. It's the source of the county's curse. Steven Gale uses the sacrifice to line his pockets and steals disaster relief funds. Once he realizes Lana is a threat, he keeps framing her. Late at night, Lana sneaks into Steven Gale's secret room, steals the evil jade and the corruption ledger, and gets the evidence against him. Steven Gale flips out and sends soldiers to arrest her. Lana unleashes her divine strength and crushes them easily. The people see through the miracle scam. Just then, the Waterlord statue they've worshipped for years cracks. The hidden river demon is about to break free—and Clearwater Township's biggest crisis hits.
