Meet Cora, the preacher’s daughter, whose life has been steeped in the teachings of morality and restraint. But when Silas and his flamboyant attractions descend upon her quiet town, the allure of the carnival’s sinister magic becomes harder to resist. Each tent reveals a grotesque wonder—phantasmagorical illusions, monstrous creatures, and tantalizing games of chance that blur the line between fantasy and nightmare. As she witnesses her friends succumb to Silas's beguiling offers, Cora grapples with her faith and the insidious whispers of temptation that beckon her to join in the revelry.
Father Bernard, Cora's steadfast protector, senses the malevolence that cloaks the carnival and fears for his daughter’s soul. He knows that Silas does not merely seek to entertain—he seeks souls, each bargain a thread woven into a tapestry of despair. As the carnival’s attractions grow darker, Cora must confront her own inner demons, questioning whether the salvation she has clung to is strong enough to withstand the seductive pull of Silas's promises.

Will she succumb to the carnival’s intoxicating allure, or can she break free from the chains of temptation that threaten to ensnare her?
Get ready for a chilling ride through the macabre and the grotesque, where every laugh masks a scream and every wish comes with a cost. Dare to enter The Devil's Carnival, where salvation and damnation dance hand in hand, and nothing is as it seems.
