The film centers around the Haywood family living in Agua Dulce, California, who professionally trains and handles horses. Their trained horses are used in film and television productions. Otis Haywood is killed by a metallic object that fell from the sky. After six months children of Otis Haywood are fired from the sets of a TV commercial after their horse reacted violently to its reflection.
To keep themselves afloat, the pair of brother and sister sell some of their horses to Jupe, who owns and runs Jupiter’s Claim, a theme park. The Haywoods start noticing their electricity fluctuating and horses vanishing. They soon discover a UFO that has been taking their horses and decide to film it as evidence of the existence of the UFO and sell them for monetary value.
To document the evidence, the duo hires Angel Torres, an employee of Fry’s Electronics. The pair attempts to get Antler Holst, a famed cinematographer, to film their documentary.
