July 3, 1959, Jennifer Chilton and her son Emerson move into their new house outside Matthews, Indiana. There to meet them is nine-year-old neighbor Tom Walker, son of respected farmers Fred and Maggie Walker. Spurred by Jennifer, friendships quickly blossom between Maggie and her and between Tom and Emerson. Two days after the Chiltons move in, a murderer kills the Walkers' farmhand and harvests his blood. The coroner rules the death natural. Eight more murders and blood harvests follow. Five days after the farmhand's murder, the first of fifteen farm animals is slain, bled, and mutilated. All twenty-four killings are so well disguised authorities suspect foul play in just one.
