It's about two siblings who inherit a ranch when a nickel inexplicably falls from the sky and kills their father, Otis Haywood Sr., who trained and handled horses for film and television productions.
Otis Haywood Jr. (OJ) does his best to keep the business afloat and further his father's legacy, but his brother Emerald (Em) goes looking for fame and fortune in Hollywood.
Later, the brothers discover a UFO after their electricity began fluctuating and some horses were disappearing or acting strange...
