Synopsis

Hillie Schumacher has spent her life being the perfect farm wife and mother—keeping the household running, attending church, and helping work the land. But when a mysterious illness strikes the family’s dairy herd, threatening their livelihood, Hillie discovers a possible cause that is linked to the farm’s electrical supply. Her solution could save the farm, but her husband resists, the preacher urges her to trust God’s plan, and the electric co-op dismisses their concerns. With the farm on the brink of foreclosure and her family’s future at stake, Hillie must decide whether to speak out and risk everything she loves—or stay silent and lose the life she’s worked so hard to protect. Stray Voltage is a gripping story of marriage, resilience, and the fight to hold on to home.
