Synopsis

A gruesome murder in the cornfields of Medicine Creek, Kansas, draws the brilliant and eccentric FBI agent Pendergast to a town steeped in its own dark history.

As more victims are found staged in bizarre, ritualistic tableaux, Pendergast teams up with Corrie, a local teenager and outcast, to uncover the truth behind a killer who seems to be enacting a centuries-old curse.

Beneath the town's quiet surface lies a secret that has been festering for generations, and the investigation pulls Pendergast and Corrie into a conspiracy far larger than a single string of murders.
