Plot

When Eli and Joshua’s father dies (you’ll see how), the two boys are moved to Chicago where they are adopted by William and Amanda Porter. Joshua seems content with his new home, and tries to make friends with the kids at school. But, Eli has other plans: He wants to ressurect the dark god He Who Walks Behind the Rows. To do this, he plants seeds in an abandonded courtyard in the city, making a cornfeild where him and his worshippers gather. Once Joshua catches on to this, he must race against time to stop his brother, before he can unleash hell on Earth.
