Spoilers ahead
The story begins in 1963 in the arid town of Gatlin, Nebraska, where a severe drought has gripped the area. In the heart of the vast cornfields, a young boy, who claims to be a prophet of an ancient deity known as “He Who Walks Behind The Rows,” gathers the local children in a tent. He delivers a chilling message that the sinful, blasphemous adults are the cause of their misery, reminiscent of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. The boy convinces the children that to end their suffering, they must sacrifice every adult over the age of nineteen—a horrifying demand that leads to the formation of a death cult around this belief.
