Tricky Sam is a supernatural mystery series that follows the enigmatic figure of Sam Stafford, a man whose inexplicable abilities have made him both a legend and a target. Moving through the hidden corners of the American South, he leaves behind stories of impossible feats money appearing from thin air, objects transforming before witnesses' eyes, and jail cells that cannot hold him. Some seek his help, others fear his power, and many try to expose or control him, from law enforcement to religious leaders who see him as a threat to their order. As the series unfolds, Tricky Sam's past begins to emerge, revealing his deep connection to Hoodoo, African American folklore, and the overlooked histories of the South. His journey intertwines with real historical events and figures, shaping moments in ways history books never recorded. But as his legend grows, so do the forces working against him, determined to either harness his power or erase him entirely. Mysterious, unpredictable, and always one step ahead, Tricky Sam is a ghost in the pages of history one whose true story is finally ready to be told.
