A horn blares

A crash

Somebody screams

When a carnival train crashes in front of Summer Meadows's house, she does what comes naturally - she acts without thinking and volunteers to lead an elephant to the fairground. The animal's trainer follows close behind but disappears when they reach their destination.

When Summer goes looking for the trainer, she finds something altogether different - a woman hanging dead in the shower of one of the trailers. A carnival slew of mishap and misadventure ensue when Summer and her fiance, Ethan, set out to solve the murder and wind up in a fun house that is anything but.
