   A guy who comes to the USA full of hope and trying to raise a family on a farm in W Virginia. When the crops start to fail and the family moves on leaving him alone with the land the man becomes more and more reclusive becoming paranoid of the scarecrow who he eventually believes is the devil.

   The enemy "Satan" brings doubt and comes to steal, kill and destroy. The scarecrow looks like Lucifer to the farmer.

   Having inherited someone else's dream, the place once filled with abundance and life has now become a haunted curse because the joy has gone from life and he is left with emptiness and loneliness. His only companion has become an evil-looking scarecrow.
