Four close‑knit seniors at Cloverfield High have earned the nickname “Mystery Hunters” after cracking the case of a sneaky locker thief who pilfered sports gear, watches and even a birthday ring. Barry, the charismatic halfback, teams up with his steadfast friend Kent, the son of the town’s hotel owner, and the energetic Ford twins, Mac and Tim. Their quick thinking and teamwork—setting a hidden camera and staying one step ahead of the culprit—have turned them into the school’s unofficial detectives.
Now the quartet’s latest clue points them toward an old mountain lodge rumored to be haunted, a place that looms on the edge of town and has long sparked whispered stories. With winter’s chill in the air and the holiday season looming, the friends must decide whether to follow the trail of mystery into the lodge’s shadowy halls. Their bond, humor, and love of a good puzzle promise an adventure that’s as much about friendship as it is about uncovering the truth.
