When her car breaks down in a small town, Liz Chambers (Jaimie Alexander) meets journalist Sarah Austin (Hudson Leick), who tells her about the town's bloodthirsty past. A hundred years ago, the town preacher nailed people to crosses, sacrificing them as living scarecrows. After Sarah is killed in a cornfield when a scarecrow comes to life, Liz realizes the spirit of the evil preacher can jump from one body to another, and she must elude the townspeople who are helping him.
