A movie is shown depicting a family being hung up like scarecrows with sacks over their heads in a cornfield and burned alive. It is revealed to be the nightmare of nine-year-old Dylan Collins (Robert Sloan), who is staying in a rural farmhouse next to a deconsecration Lutheran church, with his twin brother Zach (Dartanian Sloan), and their mother Courtney (Shannyn Sossamon). The family is on the run from an abusive husband/father, Clint (Lea Coco).
