When twelve-year-old T.J. Sloan and his two best friends, Iris Vanderbrandt and Billy Rogers, stumble across a spooky video that was filmed at the summer camp they're about to attend, everything suddenly gets real.
It turns out the video is a warning to keep campers away from Camp Creepy Creek. But T.J.-being the coolheaded and curious kid he is-doesn't frighten so easily. Instead, he enlists the help of his friends to track down the identity of the person who made the video and find out if Camp Creepy Creek really is haunted . . . or if this is just some elaborate hoax.
During their investigation, the kids get the sneaking suspicion the camp administrators might be attempting to bury the video to prevent a panic, which prompts T.J. and his friends to sneak into the camp office to search for clues. What they discover is that the Suspicious-Counselor-George might be trying to get his hands on the video as well.
Everything changes when T.J. and his friends suddenly realize they're being spied on by a curious crow that's been hanging around camp. The bird leads the trio to a spooky mansion in the woods where a nefarious plot begins to unravel. In the end, the real question is whether T.J.'s friends will stick by him while he solves this mystery . . . or will the devious inhabitants of the mansion be too much for any of them to endure.
