About Carnivàle
Carnivle plunges into the heart of a Depression-era America, following two seemingly unrelated groups whose paths are destined to intertwine in an epic clash between light and darkness. One group is a traveling carnival, a band of outcasts and performers concealing extraordinary secrets. The other centers around a young farmhand who discovers he possesses inexplicable powers. Their journeys are threads in a grand design, a cosmic game woven with Christian theology, Gnosticism, and the cryptic lore of the Knights Templar. Carnivle explores the eternal struggle between order and chaos, destiny and free will, as these characters grapple with their roles in a battle that will determine the fate of the world.
