Kearny and Donny MacGregor are famous hoaxers whose lineage can be traced to a long line of conmen and tricksters. Hours before the brothers perform a successful crop circle hoax, they are approached about creating an earth light hoax for the mayor of Stony Creek, the Bigfoot capital of northern California. Earth light is a general term used to describe unknown lights in the sky, and the mayor of Stony Creek believes that this second "e;phenomenon"e; will help pull the town from its revenue slump. After several successful earth light hoaxes, a loose group of truth seekers forms, lead by Sheriff Nicki Stanford and local Bigfoot debunker Possum, and chase is on.
