"Before the beginning, after the great war between Heaven and Hell, God created the Earth and gave dominion over it to the crafty ape he called man. And to each generation was born a creature of light and a creature of darkness. And great armies clashed by night in the ancient war between good and evil. There was magic then, nobility, and unimaginable cruelty. And so it was until the day that a false sun exploded over Trinity, and man forever traded away wonder for reason."
In a time of titanic sandstorms, vile plagues, drought and pestilence - all signs of God's fury and harbingers of the Apocalypse - the final conflict between good and evil is about to begin.
Set in 1934 during the Great Depression,
Carnivàle follows a traveling carnival as it wends its way across the Dust Bowl. It focuses on Ben Hawkins (Nick Stahl), a mysterious 18-year-old fugitive with hidden talents who is taken in by the carnival, and the charismatic, shadowy evangelist, Brother Justin Crowe (Clancy Brown) who will ultimately cross his path.
