    A dark, visceral Southern Gothic in which a charismatic and dangerous travelling troupe upends a small town, exposing long-buried sins, religious fervor, and raw human desire; told through vivid, often brutal scenes and unforgettable, grotesque characters, it traces how art, faith, and vengeance collide to rip a community apart.
