The house burned. The laughter did not.

Forest Hills, Tampa, 1996. A shortcut past the abandoned Wrenner mansion draws a group of teenage friends into the story of Corbin Wrenner, the killer clown known as Mr. Grin. The house is full of hidden passages, old recordings, and the traces of children who never came home. What first looks like a neighborhood dare becomes a fight to survive a murderer who has learned to use fear long after his own death.

Brandon, Jesse, Eddie, Brian, Amber, and Shelly each find a piece of the truth, while an old rival is forced to choose whether he will help them. Together they must expose what happened beneath the mansion and stop Mr. Grin before he takes another child. Even if they destroy the house, the thing that wore the clown’s face may have left something behind.
