Salem's ruthless leading witch, Mary Sibley (Janet Montgomery), has just completed the elusive Grand Rite, a deadly, supernatural ritual that unleashed a devastating plague on the town's unsuspecting citizens. As death and disease continue to spread through the war-torn village, Mary must face off against adversaries old and new, from within Salem and beyond, who are vying for her throne in the battle for control over the village.

Left for dead physically and emotionally, former war hero John Alden (Shane West) returns to Salem to take down the woman he loves, Mary, before she can destroy everything and everyone around her. Haunted by guilt, Cotton Mather (Seth Gabel) is on a path of redemption, determined to right the wrongs he left behind. The protector of the abused, Mercy (Elise Eberle) becomes the abuser as she seeks vengeance against the one who betrayed her, Mary. With the sudden return of the son (Oliver Bell) she thought she gave up years ago, Mary must also contend with emerging threats from within the ranks of her own coven, who conspired against her to secretly keep him alive, including her mysterious servant Tituba (Ashley Madekwe ), whose allegiances are slippery and motives unclear. Mary's most vital task is shoring up support from Anne Hale (Tamzin Merchant), who could, either become a powerful ally or a deadly foe.

Mary learns early on just how much help she needs when the aftermath of the Grand Rite prompts new visitors to descend upon Salem, each with their own agendas, including Countess Marburg (Lucy Lawless), the last of an ancient and powerful line of German witches; her charming, cultured and extremely loyal son Baron Sebastian Marburg (Joe Doyle); and the mysterious Dr Samuel Wainwright (Stuart Townsend), who looks to uncover the secrets of Salem and its plague while its first victim, Isaac Walton (Iddo Goldberg) lies helpless.
