High school students Eric Carter and Johnny Grissom are best friends. Johnny is a heavy metal rebel nicknamed “Johnny Gruesome” by his classmates. When Johnny is murdered while on a drunken joyride, his killer persuades Eric and Johnny’s girlfriend to help him make the murder look like an accidental death.

Writer/director Gregory Lamberson adapts his own novel, which was originally produced as a screenplay way before Lamberson would go on to direct cult hit Slime City in 1986, a story that was also filmed – as a short – back in 2007.

You know it by the smell permeating your nostrils as soon as you come close via the Niagara Scenic Parkway (formerly the Robert Moses). Tourists arrive from every corner of the world to see nature’s beauty only to learn the place where it resides on the American side doesn’t necessarily live up. Darren and Dean are about to discover this truth too … during their wedding.
