Marnie and Raver are each set apart from their community: Marnie because she is a newcomer brought to the village by her much older husband, and Raver because he is the village lunatic. The villagers are suspicious of any newcomer and they are especially wary of Marnie when her husband dies suddenly. She causes more consternation when she befriends Raver, but Marnie discovers that he is not mad: he is deaf. She develops a rudimentary sign language to communicate with the young man. The villagers see Raver responding calmly to her hand gestures, and they try Marnie for witchcraft.
