Synopsis: "You can’t run. You can’t hide. There’s no escape.

Seventeen-year-old Danny Hartford thinks his life is over when his girlfriend, Stacy, tells him she’s pregnant. Before either can grasp that they’ll be teenage parents, they’re thrown another curve ball.

While the young couple work the night shift at The Lone Star Land Amusement Park, a huge explosion at a nearby construction site knocks out the power to the area, trapping them at separate rides.

Then the real terror begins.

The blast unleashes a horde of mutated creatures that quickly overrun the park, slaughtering and devouring all in their path.

With no help in sight and another wave of bloodthirsty monstrosities on the way, time is running out.

To reunite with Stacy, Danny and a small band of survivors must cross the treacherous fairgrounds where ravenous, multi-legged beasts lurk in the darkness.

Only hours earlier, Danny dreaded what was in store for his future. Now, he’s locked in a primal battle to keep it alive. And as the night grows darker, the group quickly becomes… the park’s main attraction." - Via Amazon
