Summary:
Rosemary Woodhouse, a young woman with a failing actor husband, has recently moved into the Bramford, a historic Gothic Revival-style New York City apartment building. Guy has only had minor roles in theatrical productions such as Luther and Nobody Loves an Albatross, as well as a few TV advertisements. The couple is informed that Bramford has a shady past of witchcraft and murder, but they dismiss this. Guy wants to wait until his job is more established before starting a family, whereas Rosemary wants to start one right now.
Neighbors Rosemary and Guy are welcomed to the Bramford by Minnie and Roman Castevet, an eccentric old couple. Rosemary considers them intrusive and irritating, but Guy continues to pay them frequent visits.
Guy gets cast in the lead part in a new theatrical play when the lead actor falls blind. Guy surprisingly agrees with Rosemary that they should have their first child shortly after. Rosemary has a dream that night about a tumultuous sexual experience with a gigantic, monstrous beast with yellow eyes. Rosemary discovers claw marks on her breasts and crotch the next morning, which Guy dismisses as a hangnail. Rosemary is later informed that she is expecting a child.
Rosemary becomes very ill, but her excruciating pain and rapid weight loss are dismissed by others as hysteria. Minnie and her doctor feed her weird and nasty concoctions. Rosemary gets a strange desire for raw flesh as well.
Guy's performance in the play receives positive feedback and he goes on to play more important roles. Guy quickly starts talking about a Hollywood career.
Edward "Hutch" Hutchins, Rosemary's buddy, also gets ill inexplicably. Roman Castevets, the leader of a Satanic coven, had given Rosemary a warning, which led to her discovery. She believes her unborn child is being sought as a devilish sacrifice. Despite her growing conviction, she can't persuade anyone, especially Guy. Rosemary eventually finds the coven's true motivation for desiring her baby. He is the Antichrist, and his father is Satan.
