In the center of the plot - a silent character named Moon Shadow (Ricky Whittle). He was released from prison a few days ahead of time, because his wife Laura (Emily Browning) and best friend die in a car crash. On the way home, Shadow meets the mysterious Mr. Wednesday (Ian McShane), who hires a security guard hero.

It turns out that the environment wants to unite the old gods - mythical creatures, who came to America with immigrants from different countries. They're going to bring back the former glory and to fight with the new gods - patrons of media and technology - led by Mr Peace (Crispin Glover).
