What Makes That Windmill Bleed So? 1/2 w/ Abubakar Salim

Season 1, Ep. 9

Paris, 1890-something? The Moulin Rouge burns bright with music, lust, and secrets. Our investigators tumble through the velvet haze of Montmartre. An ex-dancer, an eccentric poet, a music box artisan, and a guy named Bill Buckaroo. What begins as backstage chaos soon drips into something much darker.
