With her older classmates' opinions increasingly taking on more importance, Chloe pushes her uncle and best pal, Dusty, to take her to a screening of a new sci-fi action film in a fresh, never-before-seen cinematic format called "Cinethrax," which gives the audience a strange, perilous movie-going experience.
