Set in late 19th-century Chicago, the narrative explores the city's dual nature, showcasing both its vibrant progress and underlying horrors. As the White City rises post-Great Fire, it becomes a backdrop for sinister figures like serial killer H.H. Holmes and a series of tragic industrial accidents. The story delves into the eerie occurrences of the time, including mesmerists, ghostly communications, and unsettling discoveries, as Ursula Bielski uncovers the chilling history hidden beneath the city's dazzling facade during the World's Fair.
