It is a cool,
fall evening and a traveling carnival is in town. Three young friends,
Amy, Lisa and Tina are having fun riding the rickety rides and eating
cotton candy. After playing some midway games they decide to go into the
Fortune Tellers tent tucked way back in an isolated part of the park. An
older carnival worker urges the girls to pay her a visit. He says she has
a message for them that they may want to hear. Tina doesn’t believe in
such nonsense, but Amy insists. Once inside they are surprised at how
young and beautiful the woman sitting in the tent is. After a few minutes
inside, the girls get a very cryptic warning from the Fortune Teller who
can only tell them repeatedly to “wait for the right time”. An approaching
storm forces the women to leave the tent before the meaning of the message
is explained. The drive home in a raging storm adds to the girls fear and
sense of impending tragedy. Suddenly one of the women realizes what the
Fortune Tellers message was and whom it was meant for. But can the message
be deciphered in time to save all their lives from a tragic ending?
