It all started when Jamie and Lewis discovered an ingenious method for some excitement and privacy. Sneaking out of the house at two in the morning and meeting down at the abandoned --- and soon to be demolished --- Fear Mansion became the perfect setup for some space. No teachers, no parents --- just themselves and the night. Of course, something this perfect doesn't stay a secret for very long, and soon the two teens grow to become a whole group. But they continue to have a blast, hanging out and just being themselves.
Then one night becomes especially interesting when a couple of guys clowning around accidentally knock down part of a wall to reveal a secret room. The strange room, with no visible entry ways of doors or windows, is stacked with all sorts of interesting stuff, like ancient jewelry, an old coin collection, fur coats, faded sheet music, a gun, black candles, hooded cloaks, and animal skeletons. Everyone helps themselves. They don't see it as stealing; the mansion is set to be demolished anyway, to make room for a mall. Taking an old pendent necklace or two wouldn't hurt anyone. Or so they thought.
After the mansion is demolished, the teens don't let their fun die. They just relocate at the new bar called Nights. Sure, legally they are underage, but the bartender doesn't pass judgment, as they bring in a lot of business when otherwise it would be dead. Besides, the new bar sits right where the old mansion used to be. They still have their important midnight meetings, only now it comes with refreshments.
But then strange --- and scary --- things start to happen, like the cockroaches pouring out of Nate's mouth, and Jamie almost drowning when their car unexplainably plows into the river. Each incident seems somehow connected to Candy, the girl who smiles cunningly as she toys with the pendent hanging from her neck --- the same pendent she had found in the mansion's secret room. Does the pendent have powers, powers that enable the wearer to wreck evil havoc on whomever she chooses? Nate and his friends are determined to find out, no matter what the consequences.
