Part 4/9:
As the family navigates their routines, we see hints of deeper issues manifesting through Nathan’s oppressive behavior and the peculiar attention his wife, Francis, gives to their farmhand, Mike. This tension becomes a catalyst for Francis's infidelity, which arises alongside the desolation permeating their once-thriving land.
Nathan's refusal to sell their farmland to the persistent real estate agent Charlie Davidson showcases his stubbornness, who is blinded by faith despite the growing unease surrounding their environment. In tandem with characteristic Southern hospitality, the family’s plight deepens as strange occurrences begin to culminate with the discovery of a mysterious meteorite on their property.
