Lucas and Jenny are getting settled in their new house when Jerry Klein, the Homeowners Association president, invites them to the neighbourhood's annual Equinox Party. Ready to embrace the suburban lifestyle, they excitedly accept. But this is no ordinary party… A banner hangs at the clubhouse's entrance: Welcome to the Equinox. Please don't die. There are rumours of a portal to hell, dangerous mythical creatures, and a legendary gun-wielding hero named McScruffy. Lucas, thinking this is all a joke, hesitantly mingles with the other guests when the inevitable happens… The portal to hell opens… And the first monster attacks.
