In a city of ice and ruin, a group of magicians face off in a daring game of magical feats to find the next headliner of the Conquering Circus. Instead they find themselves under the threat of an unseen danger striking behind the scenes. Each act becomes more and more risky, and the number of missing magicians piles up. Kallia is a powerful showgirl out to prove she's the best no matter the cost. Jack, the enigmatic keeper of the club, has told more than one lie. Demarco, a magician and the brooding judge, can no longer hide his dark past. It is a game with no way out-- and no heart will be left unscathed. -- adapted from jacket
