Synopsis:
During the great depression, a small backwoods community in Iowa face
even more difficult times than most, having to endure the slowly fading
sanity of their leader, Reverend Joshua Miller. When it's clear the man
has slipped beyond the edge of reason and perhaps signed a deal with the
devil, the citizens unite to stop him any way they can, breaking into
the church to lash the reverend to his wooden alter cross then boarding
up the windows and doors to leave him to fate and God's judgment. The
people of Oak Valley then abandoned their town to the cornfields and
woods; ending the madness for what they hoped was forever.
They were wrong!
Seventy-four years later, the corn and trees have taken back the area and not much is left of the once thriving little community but Joshua Miller's desecrated church still stands, and within its boarded up and sun-baked walls something that used to be a holy man waits for whoever is unfortunate enough to release him from his cross...
