A teenage girl accidentally murders her abusive Step-Father in self-defense on Halloween night, 1988. She runs away from home, hoping to hitch-hike to her Aunt Laura's house.

She awakens in the clutches of a deranged cult deep in the woods, hellbent on sacrificing her to their God at the stroke of Midnight.

Billy Eichner provides a hearty dose of good old fashioned romance with a lot of laughs
