WHAT IT'S ABOUT

Decades after witnessing her mother’s brutal murder at the hands of the “Killer Clown,” Elizabeth Helmer (Sara Paxton) remains haunted by the crime that shattered her childhood. When she begins investigating the long-unsolved cold case, Elizabeth becomes the target of a terrifying copycat stalker, forcing her to confront painful memories she has spent a lifetime trying to escape. As she searches for answers alongside her father Reed (David Cubitt) and husband Dan (Hamza Haq), Elizabeth uncovers a tangled web of family betrayal and long-buried secrets. As she closes in on the truth, Elizabeth must separate fact from manipulation and fight to survive before history repeats itself.
