When Octaviah Southeil inherits her aunt's house in the Adirondacks, she expects quiet solitude with her uncanny ability to talk to animals. What she doesn't expect is a house that plays its own supernatural soundtrack, especially when the hot new minister walks by (cue George Michael's "I Want Your Sex").
But between a meddling coven convinced she's the second coming of her aunt, elderly churchgoers ready with pitchforks, and explosive new powers she can barely control, Octaviah's got bigger problems than her inconvenient attraction to Minister Theo Ingerton. He's got his own secrets - violent dreams that only prayer keeps at bay and a growing certainty that his calling might be more complicated than he thought.
As darkness looms over their small town, Octaviah and Theo must navigate their forbidden attraction while dealing with her house's increasingly dramatic musical commentary, a coven that won't take no for an answer, and powers that could either save them or tear them apart.
