Nothing ever happened there and nothing ever would--until the mayor of sorts (campaign slogan: \"I'll Do What I Can\") and his precocious teenage buddy come up with a scheme to put Wheatfield on the map. Should something dramatic occur--say, that the apparition of the Virgin Mary miraculously appeared at the local Catholic Church--the whole town would be turned into a shrine, attracting thousands of pilgrims. And all those pilgrims needed food, shelter, all kinds of crazy things. The town would get rich! What could go wrong? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThen the shootings begin.
