A teen believes her new stepfather carries a dark and deadly secret from the past.
SYNOPSIS:
AMANDA, a 16 year old, rebellious teenager, recountes the
horrors of her past in a journal while living as a patient
in a mental institutuion.
Amanda is displeased with the move and shows an angst
towards Gil, her new “father figure.”
Attending a new school just adds to the complications of
Amanda’s life, and though she is not overtly outgoing, she
manages to make new friends.
But things at home escalate quickly as tension rises between
Amanda and Gil. Though he is kind to her mother, Ella, there
is something about him that Amanda does not trust.
Finding her way into the basement one day with her brother,
to look for a ball, she comes face to face with a CLOWN,
which appears to be too real for her liking.
From this moment on, the clown makes many appearances in her
dreams at night and during the day, stirring her heart to
find out who “he” is.
At school, her classmates, MARNIE, TOMMY, and ALEXANDER
share the story of a family of circus entertainers.
The kids team up to tour the abandoned amusement park, and
are further cast into a dark mystery as they encounter the
clown and haunting attributes left behind by the fire.
Her continued infatuation with the mystery causes her
unrelenting dreams which lead her mother to believe she is
going crazy. Ella confronts a mental doctor who quickly
talks her into admitting Amanda into a mental instituion.
In a dramatic ending, the truth behind Gil’s identity, the
clown, and the fate of the Asgard family culminates in a
dramatic replay of history, only to leave Amanda seemingly
out of her mind as we return to the mental institution as
she finishes telling the story.
