Heads up for some graphic depictions of colonial violence at 04:30-05:05 and 13:30-14:15.

War haunts the Puritans of Salem. Trapped by their own hand in an endless cycle of bloody conflict against indigenous people, their conception of a Satanic enemy blurs with their image of the people they slaughter by the hundreds. Are the Puritans the bad guys?
