Il reverendo Graham Hess vive a Bucks County in Pennsylvania con i suoi due figlioletti e il fratello un po’ svanito. Sua moglie è morta in un incidente e da quel momento l’uomo ha perso la fede. Un giorno scopre degli ampi cerchi tracciati nei campi intorno alla sua fattoria. Il fenomeno si manifesta anche in India e, successivamente, in tutto il mondo. E’ opera di alieni particolarmente pericolosi e abili nel non farsi individuare. Qualcuno di loro si muove anche nei pressi della fattoria. Graham riuscirà a venire a capo del mistero. M. Night Shyamalan si muove con sicurezza nel territorio del paranormale e del contatto con gli alieni.
