In the small town of Ottawa, Illinois, where gossip spreads like wildfire and privacy is a rare commodity, six friends decide to break their usual routine of watching movies and chatting in the basement by heading out for a night on the town. Normally, this wouldn’t be a big deal. However, tonight is anything but normal. With whispers about the police commissioner’s mysterious disappearance and the mayor imposing a strict curfew, chaos quickly ensues, driving the entire town into a frenzy. Is it mass hysteria? A curse? Could Abraham Lincoln be to blame? No one has the answers. But for this group of friends, one thing is clear: they should have stayed in the basement.
