Synopsis
When Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show travels to Germany on tour, sharpshooter Annie Oakley discovers that she possesses rare magical abilities of her own, marking her as an Elemental Master rather than simply a performer with an unusual skill. As the tour continues across the German countryside, Annie finds herself confronted by supernatural creatures of the night that ordinary audiences never suspect exist, forcing her to combine her renowned marksmanship with her newly awakened magic. Balancing her public role as a celebrated show performer with this hidden responsibility, Annie must learn to use her abilities responsibly while the tour's stops bring her into contact with threats that put both her fellow performers and local communities at risk.
