Dave and his four-year-old Jacob find a circus tent in the woods behind their house. A strange voice invites them through the dark doorway. When they refuse, the tent swallows them anyway.

The audience: a shifting figure on a platform high above the trapeze wires. With Jacob perched in the crook of his arm, Dave determines to outsmart the boss of this dark circus, and escape this horrifying tent.
