Alexander York, known as The Great Zamboni, is a famous illusionist who works with his wife and assistant, Dawn Starr. During a recording session of one of his shows, something goes wrong during the act, and Dawn Starr disappears.
Eleven and a half years later, Zamboni lives alone in an old manor, sharing the space with his pet jaguar Shadow. He leans into a mysterious, almost theatrical persona, using tricks and traps to keep visitors at bay and cultivating a chilling reputation as the Spooky Man in the town surrounding the Spooky House. The atmosphere is quiet, but not empty, as the residents drift between curiosity and fear whenever the lights flicker at the edge of the property.
