On a quiet Thanksgiving night, the Miller farm is struck by something impossible—a blazing object falling from the sky that crashes near the poultry fields. What first appears to be a meteor quickly reveals something far more terrifying: an ancient, intelligent force has awakened… and it has taken the form of a turkey. Hannah Miller, a sharp-witted farm girl, and her boyfriend Angel soon discover that the animals on the farm are no longer behaving normally. Chickens organize into silent formations. Ducks move in unnatural patterns. And one by one, the creatures begin to speak—with voices that do not belong to them. At the center of it all is a mutated, evolving entity known only as the Killer Turkey—a being that calls itself “Remembrance” and claims to carry the memory of every Thanksgiving sacrifice ever made. It is not just attacking the farm; it is learning, adapting, and preparing something far larger. As the farm turns into a battlefield between humanity and something ancient hidden inside its own traditions, Hannah realizes the terrifying truth: this is not a random attack. The turkey has a purpose… and Thanksgiving itself may be part of it.
