Synopsis

Dr. Miles Singer hides his magical abilities while treating veterans at a hospital in an Edwardian-inspired city. When a dying patient hands him a cryptic message and a mysterious stranger arrives seeking his help, Miles uncovers a conspiracy that connects the ruling class's magic to the suffering of soldiers on the front lines.
