Plot
In 1932, Mrs. Chase died giving birth to her son, Kenneth. Kenneth's father turned to alcoholism while Kenneth struggled in school academically, but did well in athletics. Kenneth's favourite hobby was collecting bird feathers, which he kept in a cigar box under his bed. Feeling lonely, Kenneth watched birds at his feeder and played with the feathers he collected. One day, Kenneth obtained some anesthetic from his local dentist, which he used to rig a trap on the feeder, which he used to catch a robin, which Kenneth killed when he strangled it, he discarded the bird, keeping a feather, disposing of the other feathers in his collection and starting a new one.

Kenneth eventually dropped out of school and worked as a busboy at a local diner, while using his anesthetic to hunt larger prey, such as squirrels, raccoons and dogs. In 1954, a man went missing and the town went into a panic searching for him. Kenneth's father did some work in the house's crawlspace and found a cigar box, which he opened to find feathers, animal paws and a man's finger. When Kenneth returned home from work, he found his father leaving the crawlspace with his cigar box. Kenneth ran away from home and decided never to return.

After a few weeks of living as a drifter, Kenneth, under the alias 'Jeffrey Hawk', joined a travelling circus, using his impressive strength, he was hired to work the ropes. Over the years, Jeffrey stayed with the circus and travelled over the United States, falling into bad habits, such as alcohol, junk food and drugs. Jeffrey's old habits returned and he assumed a disguise of a clown, which he used to lure victims, before he used his anesthetic to knock them out, drag them to his caravan, before torturing and killing them, before taking a finger as a trophy.

One night, Jeffrey fell asleep from drinking, allowing one of his kidnapped victims to escape. When Jeffrey awoke, he could hear the rest of the circus bearing down on him. Jeffrey whipped his horse and his caravan rode away into the night.

Musician, Kate Denson, and her band are on tour when they end up in Kate's hometown, where Kate hopes to meet up with her old friend, Nea. When stopping to refuel the tour bus, Kate is approached by 2 fans, sisters, Kitty and Emma, who ask for her autograph. The band arrive at the venue for their show in a couple days, where they meet Jen, the venue owner and Beardo, the special effects expert. Later, Beardo leaves to head home when he sees someone urinating on his car, when trying to fight the man, Beardo gets stabbed in the hand by an oversized knife, before being killed.

The next day, police investigate Kate's band about Beardo's murder, as his kill matches the MO of a serial killer. The killer murders victims with a knife in a variety of ways, but always leaves behind a bottle of whiskey and cuts off the victim's finger. Witnesses have reported the killer as being overweight with a weird hairstyle and face paint, which matches the description of Kate's drummer, Spud. Rock, the band's bass player, says Spud is innocent as he and Spud were at a bar the night before while Beardo was being killed.

Later, Spud goes to an arcade where he is approached by Ella, a woman that has apparently been stalking the band since the start of the tour. Spud tells her to go away and storms off. He tells the band about Ella, annoying them. That night, Ella is in her hotel room when she hears something in the hotel hallway, when she gets into the bed, the lights turn on and she sees an overweight clown standing over her.

Spud is arrested on suspicion of Ella's murder, due to his outburst at the arcade. Meanwhile, Sam, the band's tour bus driver, heads into the woods when he sees a campfire and finds a sleeping horse and a carriage. When he steps into the carriage, he finds a drawer of fingers. When he tries to run off, he is cornered by The Clown, who kills him.

Spud is released when Sam's body is discovered the next morning. Rock and Spud spend the night smoking weed in their hotel room when Rock leaves to get some snacks from a vending machine, only to find all of them empty, with the exception of one near the pool. While Rock is away, The Clown murders Spud and throws him out the window, landing in the pool.

The next day, Nea comforts Kate over Spud's death. Kate looks up reports about The Clown and finds a blog from a man called Benedict Baker. Nea recognizes the name and tells Kate about an encounter she had at Crotus Prenn Asylum. Meanwhile, Emma locks up from her job at a fast food restaurant when she hears something and finds The Clown disgustingly eating a pile of food. When Emma tells him to leave, The Clown stabs her in the stomach with a knife. While Emma tries to run away, The Clown catches up to her and kills her by sticking her head in a deep fryer.

A news report reveals that the bodies of The Clown's victims have gone missing and Kate and her remaining bandmates, along with Jen and Kitty, receive texts telling them to go to the woods. That night, they head to the woods where they find the bodies of the victims hanging from hooks, The Clown throws a bottle at them, which shatters and releases a purple smoke that impairs their vision and causes them to cough. When the band's lead guitarist, Trent, pulls out a gun, The Clown quickly kills him by throwing his knife at Trent's face. Jen tries to run away from The Clown, but when she trips, The Clown kills her by repeatedly stomping on her head, before cutting off her finger.

Kitty finds The Clown's carriage and looks through the drawers where she finds a few bottles of an antidote, she drinks one antidote and her vision returns to normal. She tries to find the others to give them the antidote when The Clown kills her when he slits her throat. Kate and Rock find The Clown and Rock tries to fight back with a branch, but is knocked out. Kate runs and ends up in The Clown's carriage, where she is cornered, until Rock smashes a bottle of Vodka over The Clown's head.

Rock and The Clown fight until Rock is knocked down next to the campfire, where he grabs a stick and sets The Clown on fire. Kate and Rock are relieved that they survived, until The Clown is revealed to still be alive and kills Rock by snapping his neck. Kate is wounded when Clown stabs her leg, but she is able to grab Trent's gun and shoot The Clown a bunch of times before he goes down.
