Alice's life is a spiral of isolation and addiction. Once full of light and promise, she now spends her days trapped in a dingy apartment, barely keeping herself afloat. Her slender hands bear the weight of her choices, and her tired eyes tell a story of longing and regret. Her friends and family haven't given up on her, but Alice has distanced herself, afraid of facing the love she feels she no longer deserves. When a chance encounter with an old friend sparks a glimpse of happiness, Alice is reminded of the pain she's been running from-the one person who broke her. Will she find the strength to rebuild herself, or will the pull of her addiction consume her completely?

Emmy's life is going just as she'd planned: She's living in her own apartment, dancing every day and is just leaps away from being named her company's next Prima ballerina. And she's only 17. But all of Emmy's plans come to a screeching halt when the FBI shows up at her door to let her know that she's being stalked by a serial killer. Suddenly, the safe, insulated world she created for herself is riddled with violence, fear...and a growing pile of dead bodies. At first Emmy wants nothing more than to forget her chilling new reality - but her admirer isn't finished with her yet, and before she knows it, Emmy's stuck in a nightmare she can't dance her way out of.
