Northern gothic

Northern Gothic is the story of supernaturally crossed worlds -- Manhattan's Chelsea district of the present and New York during the Civil War draft riots. William, a young Irish immigrant trying to avoid the war, and Ahmadi, a gay man from the South trying to make it in the Big Apple, find their paths -- and destinies -- intertwined as William is sucked into the racist violence of the riots and Ahmadi is pulled inexorably into the past.
