1934, America. The Dustbowl. A fugitive named Ben Hawkins finds refuge within a traveling carnival comprised of a tarot card reader and her catatonic/telekinetic mother, a blind mentalist, a bearded lady, and conjoined twins, amongst others. The carnival is owned by the mysterious and unseen Management, who has designs on the young Hawkins, for the boy is concealing an untapped gift: he can heal the lame and raise the dead--at a price. Ben also finds himself disturbed by cryptic and prophetic dreams, which he shares with a Methodist preacher in California, Brother Justin Crowe. Brother Justin, convinced by his dreams he is following God's will, has begun to practice his own extraordinary talents, although the preacher's plans increasingly lead to disturbing and tragic consequences. In this "last great age of magic," Ben Hawkins and Justin Crowe are moving toward a great conflict between Good and Evil, although it not yet clear on which sides these men will stand
按照一代正义，一代邪恶的逻辑，苏菲就应该是邪恶的，苏菲妈妈也认识到这一点，要杀死女儿。别里科夫是邪恶的，他爸是好的，他爸要杀他，本霍金斯是好的，他爸是黑色眼睛的（表示他是邪恶的），他爸不想杀霍金斯，选择了逃避现实，躲躲藏藏，同时也为了逃命。三组人物表示这种正义邪恶将永远会代际轮转。nn为啥要设定这样的剧情，我个人感觉还是很符合逻辑的。
