Synopsis

In 1899 New York, a golem created to be a rabbi’s wife emerges from her master’s death on an immigrant ship, and a jinni is accidentally freed from a copper flask in a Little Syria tinsmith’s shop. Two mythological beings from different traditions navigate the immigrant experience while hiding their true natures — and discover an unexpected connection.
