On a road trip home after a competition, a color guard team’s bus breaks down suspiciously close to an old, abandoned carnival. As the teammates explore the crumbling carnival, they discover a devious force bent on their demise. Get ready for a game of capture the Flag!
Due to their impending graduation from college, the gay San Francisco color guard team, known as the Flags, takes a road trip to the Louisiana nationals in order to commemorate their last competition together. Unfortunately, their high hopes have a harsh comedown when they finish seventh out ten. Dejected, demoralized, and decidedly defeated, the Flags load up onto their rented school bus to start the long trek home.
In the middle of the Texan desert, a journey that was intended to be celebratory sours quickly when, in the midst of an uplifting speech from their team captain, all four tires burst. This sends the bus careening headlong into a parked, older, four-door sedan. After finding a dead woman sitting in the passenger seat of the sedan, the Flags (naturally) decide to split up and search for help. They come across a dilapidated, abandoned traveling carnival a few miles from the road. They try to seek refuge amongst the ruined rides, but soon realize that someone else has already taken up residence. One-by-one, the Flags are picked off by a deranged Carny with a penchant for deep-frying his victims for dinner.
A tongue-in-cheek struggle for survival ensues as the Flags learn that the Carny is not acting alone.
Who will live? Who will die? Who will hook up?
The abandoned carnival is a dead end. With no food, no water, and no chance of escape, the Flags must make desperate decisions. Their plans are shattered when a terrifying encounter with a carny leaves some of the Flags captured. The carny's got a twisted plan, with an ancient roadshow that's starting to stir. It's a recipe for disaster, and the Flags are the main ingredient!
The Carny has claimed two Flags for his recipe, so far. The abductions, in-fighting, and betrayals threaten to shatter the Flags’ friendly facade, revealing hidden intentions and deadly desires.
The remaining members must come face-to-face with their fears as a new player enters the field. The mysterious madame is hellbent on making her dark past a part of the carnival's terrifying present!
Who will escape these twisted games, and who will be staying for dinner?
