In this chapter of this horror series based on a short story by Stephen King, a medical student who has moved to the country races to discover what evil force is holding sway with the town's children.. Beware adults -- for the "Children" are again gathering their sickles and machetes. One day the youngsters of a dusty Midwest village become feverish and incoherent. Apparently, the root of this pervasive illness is an enigmatic force originating from the local corn fields. A precocious would-be doctor tends to the kids, but he cannot locate the source of their misery. This collegian better work faster, because an iniquitous figure will soon have the children under his guidance and force them to do his wicked bidding... "In A Sleepy Midwestern Town... A Horrifying Evil Is About To Rise Again!
