A young boy runs away from his abusive home to live in the fort he'd built with friends, smack dab in the middle of a Michigan cornfield. But when a cosmic discovery one night warps reality into a mutating nightmare, it's up to loyal friends to fix what they can, and bury what they can't. A dark coming-of-age tale that fuses COLOR OUT OF SPACE with STAND BY ME.
