In the seventeenth-century, Puritan community of Boston, Hester Prynne is trapped, first into a loveless marriage and then into adultery. With the scarlet letter 'A' - signifying an adulteress - fixed on her bosom, she is brought out of the prison and made to stand on the scaffold with her infant. What happens when Hester, in spite of being publicly shamed by the crowd and repeatedly urged by a young priest, refuses to reveal the identity of her daughter's father ?
