In a small New Hampshire town in 1777, devout Puritans complacently await the conclusion of the Revolutionary War, unaware of the danger that surrounds them. With British forces near the town, an unlikely hero, Richard Dudgeon, a black sheep of his Puritan family and a self-proclaimed "Devil's Disciple", returns home for the reading of his uncle's will and to claim his inheritance.
