In the town of Wormwood there's three rules to follow, never dance or sing, never practice witchcraft, and never enter Wormwood Forest. It is said that whoever enters the forest never returns, the townsfolk believe it is the work of the Devil. There's only one person known to have reappeared after entering the forest, that woman's name is Iris. Iris doesn't remember her encounters in the forest and doesn't understand why she feels such a strong connection to it. Afraid of entering and never returning she's denies herself entry into the forest, that is until she needs a very rare and special herb to save her mother's life. Wormwood forest has many secrets that Iris will start to uncover, including memories of what happened to her in the forest many years prior.
