Story:
16th century. Western Europe is growing financially and spiritually. The witch hunt is in full swing. Nevertheless, the Witches, along with Satan’s loyal followers, secretly continue their sacred rituals and sacrifices.

And so … the story begins. We are in a European country. A teenage girl is being prepared to be sacrificed to the Dark Lord. Suddenly, an army invades led by a Priest. He orders that the Witch should be arrested and tortured so as to confess that she is a Satan follower. The Witch confesses and the Inquisitor asks the Queen to burn her at the stake. The Queen is good-hearted, but she has to do the right thing and so she orders her death sentence. The Witch threatens her by saying “We’ll meet again in another life.”

21st Century – New York: Rosanna is an actress and the protagonist of a Shakespearean drama. She is the same person as the Queen. Loa also belongs to the theater group and is the same person as the Witch. They are both in love with Daniel but he is in love with Rosanna. In the past, Loa and Daniel had a love affair, too. Loa wants to win him back. In her despair, she uses Voodoo and tricks of black magic…so Daniel is starting to change … and the atmosphere is getting weird and scary…
