In 1577, the Roman Inquisition and witch hunt are rampant in the Kingdom of Naples, with torture authorized in trials. Meanwhile, the Spanish nobleman Don Carlos indulges in a secret affair with Sister Giulia, a powerful nun who aspires to become the convent's abbess. As Giulia tries to please Don Carlos, other sisters, including Sister Carmela, plot against her, seeking to claim the coveted title for themselves.
