The television crew of the Scary Antics hidden camera show sets up innocent victims for scary practical jokes on national television. For a special behind-the-scenes episode, a group of friends wants to set up Jacob, a disturbed young man who is having problems adjusting after his father's death, at a chemical factory. Jacob is convinced that the factory is haunted and now Scary Antics is going to prove him right.

Friends and crew are having a good laugh at Jacob's expense when something goes horribly wrong, the tables are turned and now they're the ones that are running for their lives. Trapped inside the boarded-up building with an axe-wielding maniac, this is definitely no laughing matter.
