American Horror Story: Invasion

by imgoddamnpluckyremember

A crop circle appears in the fields of a rural Pennsylvanian commune. The protection of her unstable mother and injured father falls to fifteen year old Sara, as no one is who they appear to be. Traditions that span a century are threatened and the balance of power in the community makes a terrifying shift from order to chaos. But one thing is certain: they are not alone.

Setting

Location: Outskirts of Grove Township, Cameron County, Pennsylvania
Population: 129
Area: 74 sq. miles total; 73.5 sq. miles of land, 0.5 sq. miles of water
Description: Pushed between two mountain ranges and obscured from view, there exists a small farming community with a population of approximately 100. Their way of life is reclusive and religiously devout in nature. They shun vanity, luxury, and most modern conveniences in favor of a more simple way of life. The tiny village is run by a council of four elders—senior members of the community who embody piety, practicality, abnegation, and unbiased candor. Women are expected to bear children, maintain their homes, to cook, clean, and to garden. Men are expected to work in the fields, perform repairs as necessary, and to protect their wives, sisters, and daughters. Guided by the strictest of moral compasses, the majority of people largely believe they have created a utopia in a decayed and rotting society.
