Vysoko v horách Ozark leží osamocené městečko Cínová Hora. Všude je odsud daleko. Říká se, že právě proto si tam některé ženy dokázaly uchovat vědomosti o bylinkářství a vzácnou intuici, na kterou ostatní už zapomněli. Předávaly si je z generace na generaci řadu století. Pokud bylo lidem úzko, byly tu tyto mocné ženy pro ně; pokud je však nepotřebovali, dívali se na ně skrz prsty a vyčleňovali je ze svého středu. Gracelynn Dohertyová je poslední v linii těchto výjimečných žen a pomáhá své babičce s léčením druhých, kteří je navzdory pověrám stále vyhledávají, ať už kvůli léčbě artritidy nebo zlomeného srdce. Jakmile však do městečka přijede kazatel Bellflower a slibuje zázračná uzdravení, konec hladu a prosperitu, podmaní si svými sliby celé městečko. Babičku Deidre dohání kletba z minulosti a nad Cínovou Horou se tak začnou stahovat mraky. Gracelynn se musí rozhodnout, zda zachrání samu sebe a z Cínové Hory uteče anebo se postaví pomstychtivému kazateli, jehož nesvatým posláním je zničit ji.
