California. 1958.
Spring is in the air, which can mean only one thing - the circus season is coming.
But for Kal Klondike, the tough and enigmatic owner of Klondike's Circus, it will be a season unlike any other.
With money troubles and an ambitious new schedule to worry about, Klondike's world is turned upside down by a string of unexpected arrivals within his troupe.
A glamorous new public relations guru, a dour financial expert, a super-talented young performer, a crazed saboteur and a mysterious figure from his past are all along for the ride as the circus train sets off for the new season.
Disaster, triumph and a series of spectacular thrills are on the way as the battle to be America's number one circus begins.
“When you’re a success, when you’re at the top… that’s when they come for you. Everybody wants a piece… a piece of the action.”
It’s 1960 and Klondike’s Circus is now a major, money-making juggernaut, with TV specials, Las Vegas engagements and all manner of sponsorship and endorsement deals in the pipeline.
When the troupe is offered a starring role in a huge circus spectacular involving multiple promotions, boss Kal Klondike feels on top of the world.
But that’s when the dark shadows start gathering. Sinister, malicious figures, all with a score to settle. And all wanting a slice of his profits. A deadly gangster. A humiliated performer. A madman long thought dead. And, at the head of the table, Klondike’s greatest rival, his former mentor and partner.
Everybody wants a piece. Nobody is safe. The stage is set…
