Baccano!

Immortality, mob wars, and madcap thieves collide on a blood‑soaked train across time.

In the roaring 1930s, Chicago’s underworld erupts when the legendary Flying Pussyfoot train becomes a moving crime scene, spilling blood, bullets, and a mysterious elixir of eternal life across the nation. Parallel to this chaos, a pair of eccentric thieves—Isaac and Miria—stumble upon a cursed bottle, inadvertently setting off a chain reaction that entangles mobsters, alchemists, and a ragtag crew of outlaws. In New York, the brilliant but reckless scientist Szilard and his reluctant assistant Ennis hunt the missing vials, while rival mafia factions wage a brutal turf war that threatens to engulf everyone. The story jumps back to 1711 aboard the ill-fated Advena Avis, where a group of alchemists first discovers the terrible cost of immortality. Their experiments echo through the decades, linking the past and present in a kale‑claw of flash‑forwards and overlapping narratives. Baccano! masterfully weaves these disparate threads into a frenetic tapestry of gunfights, betrayals, and dark humor, all while exploring the absurdity of living forever and the fragile bonds that form when chaos reigns supreme.

A stylish, non-linear crime fantasy set in 1930s America where immortals and mobsters collide aboard a train. Expect heavy, graphic violence and dark themes balanced by sharp writing and a surprisingly warm ensemble cast.
