Unfortunately, the host has chosen the site of the infamous Ravenswood Massacre to stage his blowout gala, where a mass murder happened fifty years ago to the night. The boozie revelry is cut short when a Raven-masked killer crashes the party, intent on repeating the bloody history. As the unknown killer picks the guests off, old grudges resurface among friends, and new suspicions emerge.
