Netvorem jsi, jedině když se jím rozhodneš být. Les je nebezpečné místo, kde muže i ženy lákají sirény vstříc smrti. Čarodějnice už dlouhá staletí získává srdce, aby jimi nakrmila strom bez srdce a s jeho pomocí ovládala čím dál větší území. Když je do lesa vlákán Owen Merrick, Serena, jedna z dcer stromové sirény, ušetří jeho život, místo aby ho zabila. Owen každou noc přelézá zeď mezi zahradou a lesem, aby se s ní setkal, a ona pokaždé víc a víc touží stát se člověkem. Hvězdy však předpovídají nebezpečnou kletbu a Serenina honba za lidskostí je vrhne do víru odvěké války mezi čarodějnicí a králem, který se ji snaží zastavit.
