Let's set on a cross-country trip across America with Shadow Moon.
Episode One introduces Shadow Moon (Ricky Whittle) as he is released from prison early to attend the funeral of this recently deceased wife and best friend. His journey takes a strange turn once he encounters Mr. Wednesday (Ian McShane). As Shadow Moon's world is turned upside down and he reluctantly accepts Mr. Wednesday's job offer, he encounters a number of unusual characters including Mad Sweeney (Pablo Schreiber) and Technical Boy (Bruce Langley). Meanwhile, Bilquis (Yetide Badaki) enters the fray as she consumes one of her worshipers.
