Příběh s napínavou a originální zápletkou sleduje Tom Sayers, bývalého boxerského šampiona, který je nespravedlivě obviněn ze zabíjení mladých tuláků. Jejich znetvořené mrtvoly se nacházejí vždy po odjezdu kočovné herecké společnosti, jejíž turné zajišťuje. Aby očistil své jméno, utíká před policií a pátrá v prostředí hudebních sálů a kočovných zápasnických šapitó. Klíčovým momentem se stává náhodné setkání v zábavním parku ve Filadelfii v roce 1903. Zatímco Sayers hledá pravdu, neúnavně ho pronásleduje detektiv inspektor Sebastian Becker. Indicie se objevují v temných uličkách a zákulisí divadel, vedou až do vysoké společnosti přetvářejícího se amerického Jihu. Sayers se snaží ochránit herečku Louisu Porterovou a obrací se na starého přítele Brama Stokera. Ten, propojený s okultním prostředím viktoriánské doby, Sayerse zavede k odhalení větších nebezpečí, než si dokázal představit. Sayers je vtažen do maelstromu posedlosti, zrady a sebeobětování, kde se ani nevinný člověk nemusí vyhnout prokletí, a musí čelit absurdní dohodě: výměně duše za příslib věčného života.
