The farmer and father of the family has invested his entire fortune in 10,000 chickens and a modern barn. But the barn's cooling system are failing, and the chicks are dying off in the heat. Meanwhile his wife invites the mysterious Cecile to stay at the farm. Their son, 13-year-old Gus, observes helplessly as both his family and his carefree childhood dissolve in the heat.
