After escaping slavery, Bass Reeves becomes the first Black deputy US marshal west of the Mississippi, capturing over 3,000 outlaws in his lifetime.

The anthology horror series follows 25-year-old Atticus Black, who joins up with his friend Letitia and his Uncle George to embark on a road trip across 1950s Jim Crow America to find his missing father. They must survive and overcome both the racist terrors of white America and the malevolent spirits that could be ripped from a Lovecraft paperback.
