Synopsis

Chester, an art-smart and loving teen who sometimes gets his grades dragged down by his one and only friend, and his best friend Mapplethorpe, who’s air headed by far but still cares for his best bud, are an inseparable duo- until Mapplethorpe dies due to a tragic accident at a run down theme park! Crazy Fun Park is an abandoned roller coaster park, once meant to bring joy and happiness but has only brought death since it's founding, and is rumored to have ghosts who roam the premises at night but are unable to leave. Chester is forlorn; until he realizes his old friend- as well as many new who met tragic fates some years ago- are a lot less dead than they seem...
