PlotNorman Taylor, a university professor specializing in psychology, is shocked to discover that his wife, Tansy, has been practicing witchcraft to protect him from harm and ensure his professional success. Initially, Norman dismisses her beliefs as superstitious nonsense, convincing Tansy to discard all her magical charms and incantations. However, shortly after she complies, a series of strange and threatening occurrences begin to plague Norman. His professional life is thrown into turmoil as colleagues turn against him and unexplained events seem to conspire to destroy his career.
As the tension mounts, Norman starts to question his firm rationalist stance and delves into the unsettling possibility that unseen supernatural forces might actually be at work. His investigation leads him to uncover disturbing secrets about those around him, and he realizes that there may be a malevolent force orchestrating the chaos. With his skepticism waning, Norman faces a dire predicament that challenges his understanding of reality, forcing him to navigate a treacherous path between reason and the mystical to protect everything he holds dear.
