Set in 1930s Iowa at the height of the Great Depression, "Damnation" chronicles the rising turmoil between the poor and the powerful at a time of heightened inequality and uncertainty in America. At the center of this conflict is Seth Davenport (Killian Scott, "'71"), a man masquerading as a preacher with the goal of inciting an uprising against the moneyed interests that prey on the impoverished. Standing in his way is Creeley Turner (Logan Marshall-Green, "Prometheus"), a ruthless professional strikebreaker hired to stamp out the coming revolution. These two men find themselves locked in a violent struggle, connected by the secrets of their shared past.
