For many years, it was a chilling urban legend haunting the dreams of children. Now, as the time comes to breathe new life into the story, a town’s deepest fears are set to resurface.

Their assignment is to assist Aaron’s girlfriend, Amanda, in repairing her family’s farm before it goes on the market. However, the cornfields surrounding the farm are steeped in a legend, and Tyler takes a grim pleasure in retelling the story: It never rests, it never perishes, it cannot be halted, listen to their cries.
