1922, Georgia. Maryse hunts demons — because the KKK aren't just racists, they're literal hellspawn, conjured by the hate-magic of D.W. Griffith's Birth of a Nation. Armed with a magic sword and backed by her crew, she fights the monsters hiding under white hoods. Clark turns American racism into the horror it always was.
Clean — horror action.
