OJ and Emerald, siblings who run a Hollywood movie horse farm, suffer the tragic loss of their father, who is struck and killed by a coin falling from the sky. They then discover a mysterious flying object in the still clouds and devise a plan to film it and achieve success.

 

Meanwhile, theme park owner Jupe attempts to tame a monster, only to be slaughtered along with the audience. The siblings, with the help of Angel and cinematographer Holst, attempt to document the truth. It soon becomes clear that it's not a spaceship, but an alien creature that sucks in living beings the moment they make eye contact.

 

Holst dies filming the final scene, while Emerald captures the monster's true form with a well camera. Simultaneously, he uses a giant helium balloon as bait to detonate the monster, destroying it. After the dust settles, the silhouette of O.J. appears on horseback, marking the film's final scene.
