Trapped in a graveyard for three centuries, witch Mara finds her only friend, Clara, murdered by her abusive husband. Taking Clara’s appearance, she leaves the graveyard to raise Lily and Toby, kills their violent father, and learns to be a mother. She also protects other abused women, becoming the village’s guardian. When resentful men lure her into an exorcist’s trap, the women stand together, declaring themselves witches until he releases her. Mara watches Lily marry Leo and welcomes granddaughter Peach. During a devastating drought, she brings rain at the cost of her strength and memories. As her loved ones age and die, the bonds keeping her in the human world fade, leaving her trapped again. Centuries later, a girl named Zoe leads her to a chapel honoring her. Mara discovers that generations have preserved her story, and their love and remembrance reconnect her to the world she thought had forgotten her.
