A chance meeting with a witchdoctor changes a woman's fate leading to a miraculous pregnancy, but her unborn child is targeted by enemy shamans.

In late-19th century Tana Toraja, Indonesia, Minah, an orphaned shaman, makes a dangerous pact with a jinn, Siblis, promising to sacrifice someone she loves. As an orphan with no family, love is a mystery to her. When Minah meets and marries Pong Marno, she believes she's finally escaped her fate, but their happiness is short-lived. On their wedding night, Pong Marno is murdered by a rival shaman, ensuring Minah fulfills her dark bargain.

Years later, in 1985, Julia, a Malaysian woman desperate to have a child, seeks Minah's help. Minah performs a ritual that grants Julia the gift of motherhood, but what begins as a miracle quickly takes a sinister turn, drawing Julia into a world of ancient rivalries and dark magic in The Shaman's Circle.
