May 1977, Louisiana. Sixteen-year-old Oleander "Lea" Fitzgerald has spent her entire life haunted by psychic visions that never arrive in time to stop disaster. Hoping to leave the past behind, she reluctantly joins her classmates from Briarhaven Academy on a trip to Le Cirque des Rêves - a bizarre amusement park hidden deep within an isolated, old-money community. When terrifying visions warn her that something in the park is watching them, Lea realizes this may be her chance to escape. Bored fifteen-year-old Maeve Hamada would rather be anywhere else. As a medium, she has long since stopped finding the supernatural particularly interesting. But when Maeve and her best friend Lea uncovers something unsettling, her usual indifference becomes much harder to maintain. Seventeen-year-old Chaz Vasquez is an acrobatic reanimated corpse whose bones click like billiard balls and whose heart gave up beating months ago, yet he still manages a wry grin. Relying on an alarming tolerance for bodily damage, Chaz has no interest in getting involved with two teenaged monster hunters, but the strange activity surrounding Le Cirque is impossible even for him to ignore. Venturing deeper into the neon-lit funhouse and the swamps beyond, Lea's visions, Maeve's uncanny relationship with the dead, and Chaz's impossible resilience reveal that Le Cirque des Reves is far hungrier than either of them imagined. As distrust gives way to an unlikely alliance, they discover that the park isn't just a place of entertainment-it's a cage, and whatever is pulling the strings has been waiting decades for fresh blood. Narrated across three distinct perspectives, The Deadbeat Saints is a supernatural folk-horror about three misfits, an old-money Louisiana community, and a subterranean amusement park that awakens something ancient beneath the wealthy enclave.
