A quiet town nestled in the centre of 1960’s Americana is about to have a Halloween it will never forget.

Unbeknownst to them the night is about to take an other-wordly turn.
Can our unlikely heroes Gordie, Ricky, and Suzie overcome this cow-tastrophe and save the world before it’s pasture bedtime? The steaks are high indeed.
