1871 metais Ichabodas Kreinas, kolonistų armijos karys, vykdydamas generolo Džordžo Vašingtono jam paskirtą užduotį, prieš pat mirtį mūšio lauke nukerta galvą Heseno kariui, kuris, po šio įvykio, tampa Raiteliu be galvos. Praėjus daugiau nei dviem šimtams metų, Ichabodas atsibunda 21-ojo amžiaus Sleepy Hollow miestelyje, Niujorke, esančiame savo kape iškart po to, kai Raitelį – pačią Mirtį – pakilti iš jo kapo upės dugne pakviečia nežinomos jėgos. Kaip paaiškėja, dviem priešams susirėmus mūšio lauke, jų kraujo linijos susiliejo, todėl abiejų likimai tapo priklausomi vienas nuo kito. Leitenantė Ebė Mils imasi tirti Raitelio be galvos bylą, kai šis nukerta jos mentoriaus ir partnerio, šerifo Augusto Korbino galvą. Mils tyrinėjimai atskleidžia, kad Sleepy Hollow miestelyje veikia dvi slaptos mistinės grupės – gerosios ir blogosios jėgos, o siautėjantis paslaptingasis žudikas yra vienas iš keturių Apokalipsės pranašų.
