When Cam, Jonesy, Amber and Buffy are invited to experience

a new theme park called Chillshore, the gang jump at the chance

of some down-time together. They can kick back on this remote

island, check out the rides, no chance of any gruesome murders

or mystery-solving in sight. Right?

Wrong. Death has come to Chillshore, with creepy cabins in the woods,

gruesome discoveries lurking beneath frozen water, decades-old

secrets cracking open like black ice. None of their fellow guests

can be trusted and no-one is safe. As the body count rises, can

the Sanera Four survive, or will this be their One Last Scare?
