John Proctor, a respected farmer and husband, has a dark secret. In a moment of weakness he committed adultery with seventeen year old Abigail Williams. Abigail will stop at nothing to recapture his heart even if it means accusing others of witchcraft and creating an hysteria that will ultimately lead many to the gallows.
Although Proctor hides the fact of his infidelity from the rest of the community, he still values the truth. He knows that the allegations of witchcraft are false. Should he accuse his former lover of lying and attempted murder even at the cost of being publicly branded an adulterer?
The conflict intensifies and Proctor is given a chance to save his own life, but to do that he must confess that he had worshipped the devil. How will he choose?
