A run-down provincial town at the end of the world. Just before Christmas Eve, sixteen-year-old Delia claims to have seen an alien, but no one believes her. This changes when a dead cow is discovered in a corn circle and when the lovely girl learns she is pregnant although she has not even kissed any of the boys in the town. When the same thing befalls Delia's best friends, Lucinda and Yvonne, not even the priest can explain this miracle. Fascinated by the outrageous happenings, and even more by the three strong-willed girls, three men attempt to unravel the mystery, each in his own way: the priest, Vic the tabloid reporter from Wellington, who needs a scoop to save his career, and the handsome new librarian, Phillip, a quiet, but fiercely intellectual man. A story with a tragic core, told like a whodunnit, whose headstrong heroes – thanks to their courageous and original initiative – overcome their limitations.
