Locked away in a maximum security prison, the infamous killer clown Mary Beth Layton, a.k.a. Lil Miss Cleaver, is about to make a prison break that no one will forget.

Jody Ann Howells, a survivor of the Still Rivers Massacre now working in Bail Enforcement, is on the trail of her latest perp, a young woman who is on the run after being found on the scene of a horrific murder, a young woman who may be connected to her past. As Howells closes in on her she discovers that the killer she faced all those years ago may still be alive and kicking and he has his sights on a family making a cross country road trip, only this time he's not alone.

When Carlton Layton arrives home to find his wife in the arms of another man, he dons the outfit he wears as a children's entertainer and slaughters them both, fleeing into the night. Five years later, Carley Lewis is asked to babysit on Halloween night whilst the child's parents go out to a party. But someone wants the child. Someone we know only as "The Cleaver".
