Synopsis

A 500-foot crop circle mysteriously appears on the Bucks County, PA farm of reverend Graham Hess. As Hess and his family try to take stock of what the sign means, and how its message incorporates into their faith, they start to get the feeling they are not alone in the fields behind their house.
