Six members of a high school chamber choir are at an amusement park where they encounter a fortune teller machine. Karnak the Fortuneteller suggests that they take a ride on the Cyclone roller coaster; when the teens do, an accident occurs that results in their untimely deaths. They wake up in an empty yet disheveled circus warehouse, where Karnak guides the students through an emotional roller coaster of flashbacks, confessions, and revelations. Trapped between life and death, the teenagers must share their wildest hopes and dreams in order to prove that they deserve a second chance at life. Ride the Cyclone is about the journey the students take as they try to answer the question: “What happens next?”
