John Murray Spear and his followers thought they could build a Messiah.
Once a respected man in his community, John took a sharp turn into the strange world of Spiritualism. Guided by a group of spirits known as "The Electricizers," he was tasked with a divine mission: to assemble a perpetual motion machine that would change the world forever.
From his genuine, life-saving work on the Underground Railroad to the cult-like scandals of his "Harmonia" commune and his disastrous obsession with mechanical divinity, John Spear believed electricity, magnetism, and hope were the answers to a nation on the verge of civil war. Out of desperation for change, he would attempt to build a mechanical God.
