When The Sparks World Famous Shows Circus pulls into the quiet town of Erwin Tennessee, the residents of the sleepy little hamlet can hardly contain their excitement. But when a member of the circus commits a gruesome murder, the townsfolk demand justice. Elephants Graveyard is the tragic story of a circus troupe caught in the cross-hairs of a small town in turn-of! -the-century America. Historical fact and legend combine in this larger-than-life exploration of the deep-seated American craving for spectacle, violence and revenge.
