Tyhle děti rozhodně v pohodě nejsou. Quinn Maybrooková to chce jen dotáhnout k maturitě. Ale možná se nedožije ani příštího rána. Quinn se s otcem přestěhovala do malého městečka Kettle Springs, která má za maskota podivně vyhlížejícího klauna. Oba tu chtějí po tragické události začít nový život. Jenže od té doby, co své brány zavřela jediná místní továrna, to jde s městečkem čím dál tím víc z kopce. Většina jeho obyvatel se domnívá, že za všechno můžou puberťáci. Právě třeťáci a čtvrťáci z tamní střední školy koneckonců uspořádali mejdan, na němž zemřela dcera Arthura Hilla. Byli to oni, kdo zapálil továrnu. A jsou to oni, kdo tráví veškerý volný čas točením pitomých videí, jež pak dávají na YouTube. Chybí jim respekt a nemají ani tušení, co znamená tvrdá práce. Teenageři z Kettle Springs to ale vidí přesně naopak. Městečko tak vede nekončící bitvu mezi starým a novým pořádkem, mezi tradicí a pokrokem. Je to boj, který může skončit naprostou zkázou Kettle Springs. A proto se jeden vraždící klaun s kloboučkem a červeným kulatým nosem rozhodne, že tomu učiní přítrž. Protože když všechny své protivníky pozabíjíte, automaticky vyhráváte jakoukoliv debatu.
