In the blistering summer of 1936, the traveling circus rolls into Atlanta, dazzling the city with brilliant lights, exotic animals, and the promise of escape. But beneath the spectacle, something sinister stalks the shadows. A string of brutal murders has shaken the city, and the authorities-hungry for quick answers-fix their sights on an innocent young man.

Buddy Griffith, the circus's horse wrangler and elephant man, prefers the steady company of animals to the chaos of people. Yet when fear threatens to shutter the circus and injustice looms, he's drawn into the mystery against his will. Navigating the uneasy divide between circus life and a city simmering with tension, Buddy must confront both the real killer and the dangerous prejudice rising around them.

As the crowds thin, the threats mount, and the noose tightens, Buddy races to uncover the truth-before the circus loses its future, and an innocent man loses his life.
