Another fantastical monster is destroyed by Jackie Robinson, then reconstitutes itself to devour the pathbreaking baseball player when Atticus wakes up from this dream in the back seat of a segregated bus. One sort of horror is over; now Atticus is just a Black man traveling through the American South in the 1950s.
Atticus, a military veteran, returns home to Chicago’s South Side. He must find his father, Montrose , who he believes has gone to Massachusetts. Searching for Montrose, Atticus — with his uncle and friend in tow — seems to face the whole country rising up to stop him, from the violence of sundown towns that prohibit Black people at night to a daughter-father team whose fondness for bizarre ceremony presents danger.
