This animated tale follows the misadventures of three teens who believe that an old ramshackle dwelling in their neighborhood is in actuality a kid-eating entity that is treating itself to trick-or-treaters. When adults insist this is a boy-who-cried-wolf situation, the youths must figure out how to buck recent trends toward open-concept living and keep the home from being converted into one giant dining room.
