Slayton, notte di Halloween. Cinque ragazze si introducono a Blackhall Manor, un grande edificio abbandonato dal passato sinistro, per mettere in scena il cosiddetto "gioco della Mezzanotte": scrivono i loro nomi su un pezzo di carta, si pungono le dita per firmare i foglietti con il sangue e poi, a mezzanotte, bussano per ventidue volte alla porta. Secondo le regole, è questo il modo per evocare l'Uomo di Mezzanotte. Ma il gioco si rivela più inquietante del previsto, perché soltanto quattro delle ragazze riescono a uscire da Blackhall Manor. La detective Sarah Noble, appena tornata in servizio dopo un anno di congedo, prende immediatamente a cuore la scomparsa della giovane Angelica. A differenza dei suoi colleghi, infatti, Sarah conosce il sanguinoso passato di Blackhall Manor, e sa che l'Uomo di Mezzanotte non è solo una leggenda metropolitana ma qualcosa di molto più reale e pericoloso. Se vuole scoprire cosa è successo ad Angelica e fermare la follia omicida che minaccia la città, Sarah dovrà fare ciò che ha sempre temuto: affrontare una volta per tutte gli incubi che la ossessionano da venticinque lunghi anni.
