Nerdy high school student Michael asks fellow classmate Jada to go to the homecoming dance with him. Despite Michael's unrequited feelings for her, Jada considers Michael as a friend, and politely rejects him, reminding him that she has a boyfriend, a gangster who has warned Michael off numerous times in the past. Jada's boyfriend Lorenzo arrives to pick the girls up, along with his gangster buddies T-Bone and Baby Boy. They see Michael talking to Jada, and beat Michael up before driving away, all the while a homeless man in a nearby alley watches silently.
That night, Michael brandishes a knife as he uses black magic encircled by candles on a clown doll to bring forth a demon of vengeance known as Killjoy, but seemingly, it does not work. Lorenzo, T-Bone, and Baby Boy abduct Michael outside his house and bring him to a secluded area where they "accidentally" shoot him. They leave his body.
One year later, Lorenzo is at a rundown apartment partying with T-Bone and Baby Boy and leaves to meet Kahara, his new girlfriend. T-Bone and Baby Boy go to get ice cream from an ice cream truck parked outside, where the clown operating the truck claims to sell drugs. Inviting them inside, the clown teleports them to his lair, an abandoned warehouse. Baby Boy is pinned to the wall by the speeding ice cream truck, killing him. T-Bone finds a lit blunt and smokes it, causing him to light and inhale himself, bursting into flames as his body disintegrates. The battered and burned corpses of T-Bone and Baby Boy are then teleported back to their rundown apartment.
Meanwhile, at Kahara's apartment, Lorenzo investigates a noise at the door and sees a clown running away in the distance. He finds the ice cream truck parked outside the apartment building, and the clown pulls him inside and teleports him to his warehouse lair. He shoots the clown over a dozen times, but the clown absorbs the bullets into his body and shoots them out of his mouth, killing Lorenzo. Kahara exits the apartment looking for Lorenzo, finding his body inside the ice cream truck before the clown scares her away.
Meanwhile, Jada has just developed romantic feelings for classmate Jamal, while simultaneously dealing with her feelings for Lorenzo and Michael, especially with the knowledge that Lorenzo was responsible for Michael's death. After eventually sleeping together, Jada is paged by Monique. Jada calls Monique, who tells her to come to her place quick. Jamal accompanies Jada to Monique's apartment. Once there, they find Monique with the homeless man from one year prior, who broke into Monique's apartment earlier that night while she was sleeping.
The homeless man has them all hold hands in a circle, allowing a telepathic link to visualize for them as he explains to the trio about Lorenzo and his friends‘ fate by the hands of Killjoy. Killjoy was brought to life by Michael's desire for revenge one year prior, but his appearance was delayed due to Michael's death. The homeless man tells them that only Jada, the clown's true love, can destroy the evil in its heart. Before leaving, he tells them that they have to destroy the doll, and that the ice cream truck is conveniently parked outside for them to enter and confront the clown in its own lair. He then vanishes in front of them.
Reluctantly, the trio step outside the apartment building, and into the ice cream truck. They are teleported into the clown's warehouse lair, where they are attacked by the clown. They are chased into a room where they are attacked by the clown's new undead accomplices: Lorenzo, Baby Boy, and T-Bone. Jamal manages to kill Lorenzo as Baby Boy knocks Monique down to the ground. Jada manages to kill T-Bone, and Jamal kills Baby Boy. The clown enters the room brandishing Michael's knife, where he is disarmed by Jamal and Monique, dropping the knife to the ground. Jada picks up the knife as the clown knocks Jamal and Monique out.
The clown approaches Jada, and asks for a kiss, which she agrees to, under one condition: that he will leave her world and never come back. But instead of disappearing like they agreed upon, the clown turns into Michael. It's revealed that the clown wasn't the demon Killjoy committing the murders on the deceased Michael's behalf, but rather the resurrected body of Michael himself committing the murders with Killjoy's appearance and powers. The clown and Michael are one and the same; Jada and her friends are in Michael's warehouse lair, not Killjoy's. Michael tells Jada that he did it all for her. Jada stabs Michael repeatedly in the heart, and he fades away.
Jamal and Monique regain consciousness, and the trio exit the warehouse, preparing to enter the ice cream truck again, hoping to be teleported back to their world. Lorenzo, T-Bone, Baby Boy and the clown reappear behind them, as the trio realize they still have to kill the doll. The clown taunts that he can't die in his own world as the trio frantically run back into the ice cream truck with the clown and his undead accomplices on their tail.
The ice cream truck teleports the trio into Michael's room with the clown doll on the floor, encircled by candles. The doll transforms into Michael, who constantly begs her for forgiveness and to not kill him, but Jada stabs him in the heart with his own knife one final time, destroying the doll, and putting an end to Michael's revenge. This causes the earth to shake, as the trio struggle to remain in the circle of candles. A portal opens at the warehouse lair, sucking the undead gangsters’ bodies away. The trio hold hands in a circle again, and they telepathically watch as the real Killjoy appears, taunts Michael for failing to succeed, and vaporizes Michael into nothing for good. The group is then teleported back to Jamal's apartment, where the homeless man thanks them and vanishes again.
Sometime later, the trio are out at a club, where they are approached by Ray Jackson and his girlfriend Tamara, both from Jada's English class.
