Toronto, October 31st, 2004.

As the new kid at your high school, you weren't anticipating much excitement for your first Halloween in town. But when you receive an unexpected invitation to the big party being thrown by the ultra-cool theatre kids, you can't say no!

The only problem? Your dorky little brother has to tag along, too.

Will you finally get a chance to talk to the bubbly, popular girl from your English class who invited you? Is your kid brother going to cause a scene after eating too much candy? Did someone actually bring a goose to the party or was that your imagination?

As the evening continues and you encounter a host of colourful characters, you realize there may be more happening at this party than meets the eye.

Solve the mystery, and you just might save a life.
