How well do you know your neighbors? A small town's best & brightest high school students are being eliminated one by one by a goth-inspired wise-cracking clown, forcing their valedictorian to unwittingly link up with a special investigator to help stop the carnage.It all begins one sunny day in Century City High’s School’s girls’ locker room with the gruesome murder of a cheerleader. Soon, the school valedictorian, Laurel, a promising chemist, is being stalked in one of the chemistry labs. She catches a glimpse of the intruder, but gets away by breaking a glass window. Within the next few days, other promising students such as the always comical Bell and the football star Chip are killed by The Clown. As the killer’s net tightens around Laurel, those close to her are also targeted by the ruthless maniac. It is only a matter of time before she, too, comes face to face with the dark evil bent on revealing the Tears of a Clown. Who will survive?
