The police are called in to investigate, but they seem to be unable to crack the case. As more and more people disappear, Angus becomes convinced that the culprit is someone who is trying to ruin his business.
To make matters worse, a group of misfits and their boss named Leviticus Bundy, have arrived at the park.
