Nightmare Alley

Stanton Carlisle is an ambitious carnival worker who discovers that carefully chosen words can give him power over other people. Using deception and the skills he picks up from the carnival’s performers, he builds a new life as a successful mind reader and hustler. His path leads to Dr. Lilith Ritter, a psychologist who recognizes his methods and may be even more dangerous than Stanton. Their uneasy connection draws him into a risky game of lies and manipulation.
