1863 knew change through war and epic battles to decide the course of a nation divided. Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation in January of that year gave cause for a network of people to help escaping slaves find freedom north of the Mason-Dixon line.
During this era, two deities of northern Nigeria tricked onto a slave ship by a jealous peer and bound together through chaos magic, emerge on a plantation in Virginia. Their own magic proves useful against slave handlers and the hunters of the people that they travel with to freedom.
Within the hollows along the Mason-Dixon line where folklore and witchcraft are hidden from society, a hag of Mayan descent protects a portal entwining passageways to mythical realms. She has imprisoned the demi-god that the deities seek within the centuries old ruins of a stone foundation.
As the battle of Gettysburg causes an upheaval across the countryside, the hag's hollow is compromised by war and by those breaching the portal she protects. A local farmgirl versed in folklore experiences bizarre happenings, and becomes entangled in an epic showdown between battling armies, witchcraft and a struggle with who or what she is in her war-torn Pennsylvania farming community.
