The story follows a group of college students—including Lita (Roxanne McKee), Billy (Simon Ginty), and Gus (Paul Luebke)—headed to a Halloween festival. After a roadside altercation lands them and a mysterious old man, Maynard (played by horror legend Doug Bradley), in the local jail, things go south quickly. Maynard isn't just a drifter; he's the patriarch of the cannibal clan, and his "boys"—Three Finger, Saw Tooth, and One Eye—are coming to break him out by any bloody means necessary.
