One day in the middle of a brutal Michigan winter, retired farmer Les Fields is found half-frozen in his barn. He is naked, smeared with animal blood, and raving that Christ appeared to him. He claims God wants a statue made for the church of Saint Cecelia's in the struggling farming community of Decker. Has Jesus really appeared to the troubled farmer? Or has Les simply slipped into madness? The parishioners of Saint Cecelia's must decide.
