During Reconstruction-era New Orleans, a gifted seamstress Amara Toussaint discovers that the stitches she sews into burial shrouds awaken ancestral spirits. When a ruthless railroad baron Augustus Whitlock begins exhuming Black cemeteries to fuel an industrial necromancy that will bind the continent to his iron will, the seamstress must unite with her storm-calling brother Solomon "Sol" Reed and the thunderbird Atsa to protect the memories-and the living bodies-of her people. The battle for America's soul will be fought in both the waking streets of the Crescent City and the surreal dream-realm that overlays it like a second sunset.
