Summary
A Chicago graduate student researching urban legends for her thesis investigates the myth of Candyman, a hook-handed spirit said to appear when his name is spoken five times into a mirror. Her inquiry leads her into the Cabrini-Green housing projects, where a string of brutal killings blurs the line between folklore and reality, and she finds herself drawn into the legend itself.
