Plot Summary

A group of college students on spring break get caught up in a deadly game of chance when they visit a remote, haunted amusement park. They soon discover that the "booby prizes" are more than just cheap toys, and their survival depends on outsmarting a sinister, unseen force. As the bodies begin to pile up, the remaining students must find a way to escape the park before they become permanent attractions.
