In the soot-stained 1920s, the Iron Behemoth thunders through Oakwood, hauling the brass-riveted chaos of The Red Velvet Revelry. But the glitter is a front: Ricky Rat is drowning in debt to Don “The Mountain” Moretti, a silverback crime lord who’s ready to collect.The circus's only hope is Molly, the "Gilded Canary" and the only human in a world of beasts. To Molly, the world is a whimsical stage; she’s so sweetly naive she thinks the blood-stained mobsters are just "method actors" and the shark-infested tanks are just for play. Shielded by her found family; a refined dinosaur tutor, a flamboyant jerboa stylist, and a very hungry shark.Molly performs at the center of a darkly comedic storm of grease, gears, and gambling debts.
