A circus arrives in Durham in the 1790s and the whole town is
excited. until the body of a Shaker girl is found beaten. 1790s.
The circus has arrived in Durham, Maine. Before weaver Will Rees is
able to take in its spectacle, he spots Magistrate Hanson - the man
he blames for his family's having to flee Dugard two years earlier.
On his journey home he encounters Shaker brothers searching for a
girl from their Zion community. Despite women not being allowed
inside the circus, Leah had snuck out to visit it. They quickly
come across her lifeless body beaten and thrown into a farmer's
field on the road leading to the circus. Bored of his household
chores, Rees begins investigating at the expense of his home life.
He becomes entranced by the lives of the circus performers,
including the charismatic horse rider and tightrope walker. Is his
longing for his old journeyman's life causing him to take his eye
off the case, and can he stay out of Hanson's way and keep his
family safe?
