In the quest to save souls, the Spanish inquisition will stop at nothing and knows no boundaries for its evil. Under the direction of Torquemada the Grand Inquisitor of Spain, a young baker’s wife named María is falsely accused of witchcraft and dragged before the Inquisition and the Cardinal. Torquemada is enchanted by María’s beauty and subjects her and her husband Antonio to heinous tortures hoping to prove that his own desires for her are a result of her magic, and that she has “bewitched him”. With the help of Esmeralda, María’s cellmate and confessed witch, María must find the power to save her husband Antonio from Torquemada’s ultimate machine of torture: the inevitable, razor sharp pendulum poised over the inescapable pit of hell
