When locals of one of the most isolated villages in Cornwall become concerned for their vicar, they go to his home to investigate, finding the building encircled by barbed wire and fully barricaded. Inside, the vicar lies dead, surrounded by bizarre decor and disturbing slogans scrawled onto the walls – decor and slogans which continue in the village church, where they’re accompanied by a far more chilling sight: peculiar cardboard figures, installed in the pews, as if waiting for a sermon. Could these unsettling entities really be behind the vicar’s death, or is there some other reason for the strange goings-on in Warleggan?
