Tom and Dave journey through a local park the day after Halloween to look for leftover candy from the party the night before. They're having a blast, until Dave suddenly disappears. While Tom searches the park for his missing friend, he starts to realize that the stories of a crazed masked man murdering children in the park could be true.
Tom has a simple assignment for school: to write a science fiction story. But none of his ideas are clicking, so he goes outside for a walk, and before he can say "time travel," he has a science-fiction adventure of his own.
On a cold December night, Tom is left home alone after his parents leave for a wedding. His night of carelessness is interrupted when he learns that a killer is on the loose in his town. Can Tom survive the night and be in bed by midnight?
Thomas's life is changed after he watches Dead Poets Society for the first time. It makes him realize he must carpe diem, or seize the day, and make the most of Summer... but it's night, so he puts his own spin on the classic phrase. With the help of a newfound friend and a video camera, Thomas has the best Summer of his life.
