Manfred Bernardo (Francois Arnaud) opens his hotel room door and greets Rachel (Kat Sawyer) saying she is getting younger every time he sees her. He tells her his fee has gone up and she says he is worth every penny.
They sit at a table with lit candles and he tells her Harold, her deceased husband is there. He talks to the spirit and when she tells him she is seeing someone and reveals it is Kevin, the room gets ice cold, the mirror cracks, and Manfred tells the spirit he is not allowed to cross; when he tells him to stay back, Harold jumps into Manfred’s body and confronts Rachel on being with his friend and business partner. Manfred fights the spirit and tells him he won’t allow him to hurt her and is able to expel the spirit from him. She is visibly shaken as Manfred jokes that Harold still hates change.
Manfred gets a call from Hightower saying he will find him for the money; Manfred says he isn’t running but immediately packs up his things, hops in his RV, leaving the city behind him. His dead grandmother joins him in the passenger seat and he tells her he took some pills and the hijacking headache is gone. She says the move will be good for him and he will be safe at Midnight, Texas. He says that would mean a whole lot more coming from someone who wasn’t dead.
Manfred drives through the town, seeing a few people but it looks rather deserted. A SUV cuts him off, and a red-headed woman walks in the shop with a tuba case. He follows her inside and as he walks around the room, he can hear the individual spirits from each item. Bobo Winthrop (Dylan Bruce) brings him to his new home; he tells him if he needs anything he can come by the shop. Manfred says he likes newer things but Bobo scoffs about his old RV.
When he asks Manfred to help him out since he is psychic, Manfred said its not real, he only tells people what they want to hear and he is just really good at reading people. He hands him the keys and after he leaves, Manfred sees a note welcoming him to the neighborhood from Fiji (Parisa Fitz-Henley).
Later that night, Manfred goes to the local bar surprised at how busy it is. He goes to the bar where he meets Creek (Sarah Ramos) who says she likes his RV and brings him to the back where he sees the “non musician” Olivia (Arielle Kebbel) sitting with Lemuel Bridger (Peter Mensah). Creek goes to order his food and Olivia leaves; Lemuel moves chairs, saying he lives under the pawn shop and works the night shift.
Creek speaks to Madonna Reed (Kellee Stewart) saying Manfred is nice, and really interesting but Madonna says he is interesting because he is here but he is running from something. Creek says then he will fit right in.
Lemuel apologizes before he pushes Manfred’s face onto the table, after a few minutes of listening to his heartbeat he lets him go saying he was weak and worried. When he says he breached him, Manfred asks what he is and he says ‘vampire is one word for it”. He gets offended at Manfred’s reaction and says he is more friendly than the sons of Lucifer and offers him a drink; Manfred smirks saying he is usually the freak in the room.
Creek returns with the food, saying she could stop by his place tomorrow and they could go to the picnic; he says he is tired but Lemuel says he will feel better in the morning and should go to the picnic as Midnight, Texas is much different in the daylight.
Fiji watches Bobo from a distance, they wonder why Creek would bring Manfred to the picnic and are annoyed that a dog keeps barking; when they go to to find out what is wrong they discover Bobo’s fiance Aubrey (Shannon Lorance) bloated body at the side of the river. Manfred looks over and Aubrey turns her dead head to look at him.
Manfred speaks to the officer at the scene who wants to know why he would live in Midnight, saying there is a reason it is quiet and cheap to live there and is shocked this hasn’t happened before calling Aubrey’s death a cult murder. He says the people seem nice in Midnight and the officer says some say Aubrey was a witch or a lesbian; he says she could have been both. She says she wouldn’t be surprised if they found a skin suit in Bobo’s pawn shop.
Sheriff Livingston learns that Bobo and Aubrey fought and the women think he should shut up before he says something he can’t take back and even dead Aubrey is still trouble.
Night falls as Manfred attempts to sleep; he is distracted from all the flies in his room and turns over to find Aubrey lying in his bed. He tells her she doesn’t belong there and he hasn’t given her permission to be there. She writes “help” in the fog on the window. He says he will if it means she will go away.
Bobo watches the video of when Aubrey accepted his proposal; he refuses to eat while a friend offers to keep him company. Manfred is caught by Rev. Emilio Sheehan (Yul Vazquez) when he is taking holy water from the local church; the Rev knows who he is and fills the bottle for him telling him Sunday service starts at 8, if he is interested.
Sheriff Livingston arrives to talk to Bobo, he reveals there was a single gunshot to the abdomen but the cause of death was drowning. Bobo demands to know who would hurt her and the Sheriff shows him that Aubrey was married to a white supremacist named Peter Lowry, who just got out of prison. He is a sons of Lucifer and is protected and can’t be touched. He tells Bobo to call him if Peter shows up.
Manfred prepares his circle and opens his board, telling Aubrey to not be coy. He tells her to stay on the outside of the circle as he begins with his ouija board. He tells her to slow down what she is trying to say. She spells out Pacanos and several spirits begin to appear, he says he only called for Aubrey and the rest are unwelcome there. He stands up as he looks under the floorboards and there is red underneath. He says this is his home and they have no right to be there. He jumps out of the room before a spirit can attach to him.
Manfred places a talisman on the door of the room, backing away as the floor continues to glow. The next morning the sheriff watches as Rev places flowers on Sylvia’s grave. He tells the officer he wasn’t at the picnic because he doesn’t eat barbecue. He admits he knew Aubrey who only came to talk to God, not him.
Officer Tina Gomez (Lora Martinez-Cunningham) also questions other residents of Midnight. Rev. learns the murder looked ritualistic and found it curious; the Rev says its wicked and sad. When they feel witchcraft is bad, they say all these serial killers started out harming animals but not one of them was Wiccan.
Manfred covers the glowing room with a cloth just before the police arrive to get his statement. He says he just moved here and had nothing to say. When she wants to search his place he asks her if Pecados means anything to her? The Sheriff and Officer make fun of Manfred being a psychic, but when they find a gun he asks her if her 8-Ball could do that. When Gomez drops him off at home, she tells him he is part of the investigation and can’t leave town.
Manfred goes to talk to his grandmother in the RV, she felt he would lay low which would have kept him safe. Manfred feels he needs to get out of there as soon as possible but there is a frantic knock at his door, its Olivia who says she heard voice, he denies it saying it was only him on the phone. She punches him in the face, knocking him out.
Manfred wakes up bound to a chair in Olivia’s place, Madonna tells Olivia she needs to get her anger under control and then Lemuel walks in saying he is just in time. Olivia wants to know why he is there and Lemuel says he is getting bored and hungry; Manfred says he is there because his grandmother got a feeling that he would be safe there.
Lemuel knows his grandmother and asks how she is doing; when he says she is dead, Olivia wants to know who he is hiding from and why do they want him dead. He says they want his grandmother, Zilda dead explaining she ran scams and the reason he gave up Aubrey’s secret is to keep his hidden. Lemuel tells them to untie him as he is one of them.
Manfred learns Midnight is a pretty quiet town but with Aubrey dying it brings the police and media; and with them not far behind is pitchforks and torches. Manfred wants to know why people like them are drawn there and Madonna explains Midnight lies on powerful mystic energy and the veil between the living and the dead is thinnest there. Manfred wants to go home and Lemuel apologizes for the misunderstanding.
The Sons of Lucifer arrive at the pawn shop and suggest Bobo killed Aubrey because he found out the truth and they want to know where he hid the weapons and money as it doesn’t belong to him; implying he won’t live to sunrise. Bobo tells them they might have misread the situation; when they begin shooting, Lemuel runs in and Olivia shoots several arrows. Lemuel sends him home saying it was his shift now anyways.
Lemuel gives Peter the same offer he gave Bobo, if he reveals who sent him, he will get to live to see the sunrise. Peter says his brothers will come through and burn the place to the ground. Lemuel says no sunrise for him but a warm dinner for him.
The next morning, Manfred comes to see Creek at the gas station, he says he got hurt by a heavy box and a shelf. He asks how she is doing as he hasn’t seen her since the picnic. When her father approaches Manfred said that is all he came for. Her father tells him being neighborly better be all he is doing with Creek.
As Manfred walks home, he sees a pickup truck with a tarp and blood dripping out of it; when he sees the Rev, he keeps walking. Once home, he receives a call from High tower who says he knows he is in Texas; he is currently in Dallas and taunts him that he is getting closer. Manfred jumps when a knock comes at his RV, its Creek.
Creek apologizes for her weird father but Manfred says they are good. He invites her inside for a beer. Creek tells him she writes but isn’t a writer; Manfred sympathizes with her over her father but she tells him it only became like that after her mom died. She tells him she knows Lem’s story but he isn’t the only one with secrets; telling him Joe (Jason Lewis) from the tattoo parlor watches over everyone.
Joe is at the river, he removes his shirt and reveals Angel wings as Creek says they can always rely on him to help and wonders what brought him there. He soars over the creek. Bobo never talks about family nor where he came from but he is kind. The Rev is mysterious, she seen him drag a corpse across the ground and is obsessed with his pet cemetery.
Fiji is more than just a New Age cat lady but she doesn’t have a mean bone in her body. She is doing a spell while her talk talks to her. Olivia has more secrets than anyone, she talks to someone on the phone about a lot of money then opens her secret room with hundred of guns. She says no one will discover the body and the phone call was about a job offer, a simple hit; she is angry that she has to say no because she has to call the police every time she leaves town. Lemuel asks if he can take the anger from him, she undresses and leans on his while he takes all her anger and troubles away.
Creek says Midnight is strange but it is home. She tells him she looked him up and knows he is from a long line of Gypsy fortune tellers. He says it is real but a lot of times its theater. She wants a reading, and he says he will go old school, asking for her hand.
He begins to read her lines and suggest she may have met her soulmate already; she says that’s the theater part and tells him if he is going to kiss her now would be a good time, but before they kiss the RV lights up with police lights; they walk outside and knock at Bobo’s and arrest him for murder of Aubrey. He shouts that he didn’t kill her; everyone rushes out as they read him his rights.
Lemuel says the police have already decided he was guilty and everyone is ordered to clear the road and go home. Fiji crushes the police car, raising it off the ground. The Rev tells her not to do this and since it will be a full moon he will be gone for a few days; Olivia tells her to be smart about this. Manfred says he will help any way he can; she drops the car and Gomez tells the Sheriff to hurry up. Everyone watches them drive off.
Manfred walks home, and sees his entire house is glowing red and spirits are every where.
