It is Halloween 2004, and auditions are being held for a spot on the school dance troupe, The Lions. The Lions is headed by Anya (Kristina Bogic) and her best friend Elise (Sara Boustany). The pretty and deeply religious Grace (Sofia Wylie), who is also Father Franklin’s niece, is trying out for the spot, as is the weird new girl, Lisbeth (Geena Meszaros).

The Lions vote for Grace and invite her to the initiation party at a haunted house.
