When Mason gives up a successful career as a journalist in New York to care for his aging parents in Nebraska, he has no idea he will never return to the city or job he loves. A heartbreaking diagnosis turns his reinvented life upside down and it isn't long before Mason, the caregiver, becomes Mason, the delusional, in need of care himself. When his dementia causes an accident on the farm one day, his wife calls and begs his sisters to come and help. Recovering from a traumatic event of their own, the single and recently retired sisters are more than happy to get out of New York for a little while. Shocked at their brother's decline and his wife's inability to cope, the sister's quickly take matters into their own hands.Surrounded by well-meaning, but exasperating women, Mason finds an unlikely male companion in Ray. They quickly realize how much they have in common. They act alike, wear the same clothes, and enjoy the outdoors. The only problem is, Ray is a lifeless scarecrow propped up by a wooden post in the cornfield, with a stitched mouth and button eyes.After a tornado tears across the Nebraska prairie and ravages the farm, leaving death and grief in its aftermath, what emerges from the rubble is nothing short of a miracle.
