In Kettle Spring, Quinn and her father move to a town marked by a strange tradition: that of Frendo the Clown, a local mascot celebrated every summer. But the party turns to tragedy when teenagers disappear, giving rise to rumors of a killer dressed as a clown. Quinn must confront the collective fear and discover who is hiding behind the mask.

The tone alternates between thrills and irony, faithful to the style of Eli Craig, who also wrote Tucker and Dale vs. Evil. His direction favors visual tension and contrasts between humor and horror, without resorting to graphic violence.
