After an epic prank rocks Alexander Graham Bell Middle School, Raign, Brett, Joy & Hulk end up in detention. Only this time, it wasn’t them! The true prankster reveals themselves and wants to join them on their quest to find Ignatius Cockshutt’s long lost fortune. The group is reluctant until they discover she holds the clue that they have been looking for.

The team tries to decipher their first clue in the detention room but are interrupted by local historian Miss Dumont, who stops by to take back what she believes belongs to the Historical Society. As punishment, the new fab five are assigned to perform in a historical reenactment of ‘The Legendary Life of Ignatius Cockshutt’. Not only will the play count for 80% of their midterm history grade, but just being in it will destroy any chance they have of ever being popular.

The detention team face their greatest challenge yet, convincing their parents to drive them across town. They follow their clue to a ‘haunted’ church that supposedly reveals your darkest fears. Kelly takes on the role of ‘new Hulk,’ which makes ‘old Hulk’ jealous. The team splits up to cover more ground, while Kelly stays behind to ‘keep watch.’ Scared and alone, they realize someone, or something is following them.

While looking at their next clue the gang is quickly interrupted by Kelly warning them someone is coming after them. They must hide and devise a plan to escape the church without being caught. Realizing someone tampered with the new clue already, Raign invites everyone back to her house to examine it further. What should be a quiet night at the Westbrook home is crowded celebration. Kelly is thrilled she is witnessing history in the making while Raign discovers secrets about Joy and sister.

A bright star leads these wise boys and girls to a dusty antique store in search of the next clue. They quickly meet the eerie shopkeeper, Gregor, and must decide if they should let him in on their treasure hunt. He gives them a history lesson outside of school but expects something in return. As pressure rises, flames are stoked, and Kelly’s secret is exposed.

The fab five meet with an old enemy to devise a daring heist on the Historical Society. Tensions run high when someone is a no-show, making the group leave their comfort zone. Joy is forced to distract Miss Dumont, while Raign battles with a rotary phone. With tempers flaring, the gang speak up about how they all feel about each other.

Brett finds himself treasure hunting solo while simultaneously attempting to get the gang back together. When it is ‘obstacle course day’ in gym class, the core four are forced to work together and learn that a strong foundation is the key to any obstacle. The four realize Kelly has been missing from school and need to find her to continue on their mission.

Our core four endure public humiliation performing the worst play of all time, The Legendary Life of Ignatius Cockshutt, for their classmates and family. While in between performances, the gang gains a new perspective on history and decides to put a new spin on an old story.

Trapped, running out of time, and no cell reception, the gang needs to confront their fears and draw from their past in order to escape the underground tomb.
