Gretel escapes from the witch that captured her and her brother, but she believes herself damned because she ate part of her brother's heart when it was offered by the witch. A chance meeting with Samuel, a witch hunter, gives her purpose as he trains her to kill witches in revenge. Years later, after killing several witches (and gaining their powers) she meets Samuel again but leads one of their enemies to him.
