Synopsis
The Diviners is set in a small southern Indiana town, Zion,
in the 1930's depression.
Buddy Layman is the town idiot (referred to in the script),
but a charming one. What's left of Buddy after his mother
saved him from drowning is an innocent but curious mind,
and a compelling gift for sensing water coupled with an
intense fear of it. So when the slipping preacher C.C.
Showers, looking for a way out of his salvation, stumbles
into town looking for an anonymous job, the locals
immediately pin on him the badge of savior.
What comes next turns everything upside down, as C.C. makes
a connection with the idiot boy Buddy in a way no one else
has and finds more in his heart than family would have you
believe is there. Seeking to cure his constant itch, and
its reminder of the fate of Buddy's mother, C.C. rids Buddy
of his hydrophobia.
