Jinxed Plot Summary

What happens in Jinxed from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 14 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 4-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

In 1913, the town seems to sparkle for its luckiest guy, Tommy Murphy [Burkely Duffield], when the girl he adores, Caitlin O’Leary, agrees to dance with him at the bustling festival. The moment is bright, but it sours quickly: a jealous kiss from Violet before Tommy’s date shatters Caitlin’s moment, and in a humiliating mishap he accidentally tears her dress, exposing her underwear. Caitlin’s anger isn’t just about the wardrobe malfunction; she believes the moment reveals a deeper fault line in their romance. The crowd’s whispers and the rumor mill breed fear around Caitlin, who is described by locals as a witch or a young gypsy woman—an accusation that weighs heavily on the pair.
