Written by Jim Leonard jr.,The Diviners revolves around the relationship between a young man (Buddy) who nearly drowned as a child and lost his mother, and a former preacher (C.C. Showers) who sought a clean slate by residing in a small town in Kentucky, escaping his predetermined path. Set in the 1930s during the Great Depression, it was a time when "magical thinking" inspired accidents that were led by those who followed in the footsteps of others, hoping that their own lives would be saved.

When C.C. Showers befriends Buddy, he recognizes the young man's inhibitions as a result of what happened in the water long ago, and seeks refuge from his own past by helping him. Meanwhile, the townspeople are searching for a higher power as they want to rebuild the church and seek solace in religion. Once they discover that C.C. Showers was a preacher, the town believes he is the one to restore righteousness among them. As a result, destiny is forever changed.
