Synopsis

In Freemont Indiana there is a blight on the land. Nothing grows but poisoned crops; the livestock have no food and farmers are going bankrupt. Victoria Riddler is struggling even more as she also has to care for her disabled teenage son Elias. Strange happenings and unexplained visions give the boy hope, the one quality that the rest of the country has lost. Someone or something is telling Elias to believe in the future - could a visit from another planet change things for the better? No one wants to believe him, but no one can explainwhy only the corn on his mother's farm is growing. It is only the strength of Elias' belief in extraterrestrial powers that can save the village - but will his illness get the better of him first?
