Finn O'Sullivan lives in Bone Gap along with his brother, Sean. They have gotten used to the fact that people will disappear and never return. Their father died when Finn was very young. Their mother left them on their own several years ago after she met an orthodontist from Oregon online. The orthodontist was not interested in having children, so the kids were left behind to fend for themselves.When a mysterious young woman named Roza appears in their barn battered and bruised one morning, the young men considered it to be a little odd, but they helped her out and she moved into an empty apartment in their house and settled into life on the farm with them.
When Roza goes missing - Finn finds himself at the center of controversy as people begin to blame him for her disappearance. He describes a strange man who looks and moves like a scarecrow as the person who took Roza, but nobody believes his wild story, and Finn finds himself ostracized by everyone.
But when the strange man appears again and begins following Finn around, and threatening those that he loves, Finn decides enough is enough. When he decides to follow the man, Finn finds an entirely new world that is entered through the rustling cornstalks in the fields that surround the town. Is this where Roza was taken? Will Finn be able to find the man who looks like a scarecrow and rescue Roza?
