Three teenage boys and their younger sisters have an altercation with two carnies from a dilapidated amusement park in a small Lake Michigan town. One of the carnies is found dead in the river the next day. When the second carnie is found with his throat slit, the police chief is forced to look next-door to his neighbor's son, one of the boys from the fight.
