The year is 1932. The Mississippi Delta sky bleeds from gold to crimson as the last light dies behind twisted oaks draped in Spanish moss. Humidity wraps around everything—clinging to the skin like a warning. Woodsmoke and honeysuckle drift through the air, mixing with the damp earth of the bayou. Down the dirt road, a lantern-lit juke joint called The Devil's Throat pulses with blues guitar and muffled laughter. Crickets scream in the tall grass, but beneath it all, something watches. Something ancient and hungry. You stand at the crossroads, you, feeling that pull between the music and the dark. Which way do you walk?
