Oak City Tales is the fictional story of Emory Alexander, a self-proclaimed scientist seeking success and acceptance in early 20th-century Raleigh, North Carolina, through the development of countless magical potions, each infused with the dust of his enchanted stone.

When Emory is discovered as the mastermind behind the city's woes, a manhunt ensues that forces him to decide just how far he will go to prove that his potions not only work, but deserve the attention of the entire world.
