## Synopsis

Chester is an art-smart and loving teen, who tries his best at school but sometimes gets his grades dragged down by one of his only friends. His best friend is Mapplethorpe, who is air headed by far but still cares for his best bud. Together, they're an inseparable duo who love writing comics together- until the two get into a fight, and Mapplethorpe dies at a run down theme park while trying to make it up to Chester. Crazy Fun Park is an abandoned roller coaster park, once meant to bring joy and happiness but has only brought death since its founding, and is rumoured to have ghosts who roam the premises at night but are unable to leave. Chester is forlorn; until he realises his old friend - as well as many new who met tragic fates some years ago - are a lot less dead than they seem...

Join Chester, Mapplethorpe, new (living) friend Violetta, Remus, the first one to die and the leader who's got some lore of his own, and the Fun Kids who call the park home, for a spooky time as the gang help each other out with unfinished business as well as discovering the secrets of Crazy Fun Park and the story of its founder.
