August, Rylee, Cora & Jennie have organized a “Spook Tour” with their classmates on the most haunted, demon-infested stretch of road in America to fund attending the concert of their dreams. But when their visit turns deadly, these four friends race to rescue the missing students... before the town tears them limb from limb. Now they must slay the evils roaming Proctor Valley Road... along with the monsters lurking in the hearts of 1970s America.

The girls are supposed to stay out of trouble...and away from the haunted stretch of Proctor Valley Road. But a stolen police car leads to the return of the Proctor Valley Bull and more danger than anyone could imagine... * As the town - and even their families - closes in on the girls, August makes a choice to visit that haunted road one last time. * And even if she survives, an even greater threat may have its eyes on these four friends...

* Plagued by day terrors and visions of a drenched woman, the girls search for answers about Proctor Valley Road at another haunted spot, the abandoned Haven Bakery. * Their inquiries into the spirit world will lead them to the local tribal reservation, but not before Rylee and August's feelings for the same boy threaten to tear the group apart...

Will the girls be able to reform their shattered friendship with the fate of their entire town at stake? They'll need to band together in order to stop the ultimate evil behind the haunting of Proctor Valley Road... especially if they still want to make it to the Janis Joplin concert.
