set in the year 1952, the season follows a struggling freak show led by elsa mars (jessica lange) in the quiet town of jupiter, florida. decades have passed since the public has looked upon freak shows as a form of entertainment, but elsa dreams of finding a home for her "monsters," as well as for her own fame and fortune. other members of her troupe include "lobster boy" jimmy darling (evan peters), a boy born with syndactyly who dreams of living a normal life, and his mother ethel (kathy bates), a bearded lady who acts as elsa's second-in-command by maintaining law and order under the tent. a strongman from ethel's past and jimmy's biological father named dell toledo (michael chiklis), and his three-breasted wife desiree dupree (angela bassett), arrive to join the freak show. to drum up business and save her troupe once and for all, elsa also recruits conjoined twin sisters bette and dot tattler (sarah paulson) to perform for her show. in a time when the era of television is beginning to reign high above sideshow acts, these individuals must overcome those who persecute them based on their looks. however, as the season unfolds, it is revealed that multiple dark entities have taken up residence in jupiter, with all of their eyes being set on the freaks. a conman named stanley (denis o'hare), posing as a hollywood executive, arrives with his young protege maggie esmerelda (emma roberts), with the intention of murdering the freaks and selling their bodies to a museum. the wealthy and spoiled dandy mott (finn wittrock), enabled by his doting mother gloria (frances conroy), develops an unhealthy obsession with the freaks, particularly bette and dot. perhaps the most dangerous of them all is a mysterious, deformed killer clown, known only as twisty (john carroll lynch), who wreaks havoc on jupiter and appears to be targeting freaks and townspeople alike.
