The story

In 1667, in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, tensions simmer between the local Puritan settlers and the neighboring Algonquian tribe. As Metacomet succeeds as the tribal chief during his father's funeral pyre, a new English colonist, Hester Prynne, arrives from overseas. While awaiting the return of her older husband, Roger Prynne, who is believed to be lost or dead following a mission to assist other settlers, Hester forms a romantic relationship with a young minister, Arthur Dimmesdale.
