Mark Wahlberg stars in this film written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan. The movie opens in New York's Central Park on a fine day, but then the people there begin killing themselves. Soon the phenomenon of inexplicable suicides is spreading throughout the northeastern US. In Philadelphia, high-school science teacher Elliot Moore (Wahlberg), his wife (Zooey Deschanel), his friend and his friend's young daughter join a mass exodus. They end up traveling on foot in rural Pennsylvania, trying to figure out what they're fleeing from as they have strange experiences.
