It's the 80s; A beloved small-town college quarterback has disappeared and religious groups are beginning to wake up to the moral impurity that threatens children. Which is really bad timing for nerdy high school student Dylan (Emjay Anthony), who was finally gaining some traction with his heavy metal band by… capitalizing on the sudden surge of interest around the occult. With a strange series of murders, kidnappings, and strange events taking over the city, satanic panic and hysteria are breaking out. AND Hysteria! It's all the better for it.
