As the reigning Miss Teen Indiana, seventeen-year-old Corie Nielson has looks, charm, and her family?s formalwear boutique?s sponsorship. But her real dream is to use that success to become a horror movie scream queen. Except for one small complication: Corie is struggling with ADHD without even realizing it. After missing yet another pageant commitment puts her on shaky ground with her coach, Corie wonders how she can possibly live up to everyone?s expectations, including her own. When a regional horror host announces a monster costume contest where first place gets a guest appearance on the show featuring the winner's choice movie and cash prize, Corie knows she?s found a way to prove what she?s capable of. All she has to do is convince a grumpy special effects makeup artist, Everett Robbins, to partner up and turn her into a pageant-worthy monster. But when the contest distracts her from her pageant obligations, Corie must decide which matters more: pageants?and her promises to her family?or achieving her horror movie dreams?
