In the rolling emptiness of rural Nebraska, a tight‑knit group of friends—Chris, Scott, Johnny, Brian and Natalie—find their weekend drive turned into a nightmarish detour when an inexplicable flock of crows forces their vehicle off the road. Stunned and scattered among the towering stalks of an isolated cornfield, they stumble upon a weather‑worn farmhouse that seems to pulse with a faint, lingering light from an upstairs window. The house, half‑collapsed and overtaken by the surrounding harvest, offers a desperate haven from the darkness that has already begun to close in.

Inside, the decay is matched by an unsettling atmosphere that feels both historical and otherworldly. Every creak of the floorboards and every rustle of the wind through broken panes hints at a presence that has outlasted the building’s original occupants. The friends quickly sense that the farmhouse sits at the heart of something far older than their accident—a secret ritual tied to the very corn that surrounds them—turning a simple shelter into a focal point of dread. Their varying personalities clash and complement each other: Chris’s practicality, Scott’s curiosity, Johnny’s quiet intensity, Brian’s steadiness, and Natalie’s resolve all come to the fore as they try to make sense of the strange environment.

The film balances stark, desolate visuals with a creeping, almost tactile suspense. The endless rows of corn become a character in their own right, whispering with unseen movement and amplifying the isolation the group feels. As night deepens, the farmhouse’s shadows grow longer, and the friends begin to realize that surviving the night may depend less on brute force and more on confronting the hidden history embedded in the fields. Their bonds are tested, their fears magnified, and the line between reality and the supernatural blurs, promising a tense battle of will against an unseen, malevolent force.
