Simon and Marie can't seem to have a baby. Desperate for change, they escape the city, seeking tranquillity in an idyllic village where they hope things will improve. However, the town they find is gloomy, even hostile. The atmosphere has shifted ever since the local factory shut down and a broadcast antenna was erected. Now, the birds no longer sing, and people have begun to vanish mysteriously.
