What happens when one kiss turns your world upside down? That one simple kiss makes your life into something unexpected. Athena Delaney works at a publishing company to publish gossips and news about celebrities. One drunken night, she met a well known football player from Spain. Well not exactly, she didn't know he was even a football player. Alexander Herrera finds her interesting that he couldn't resist her pink tempting lips. So he kissed her. Him, the well known footballer kissed a stranger he just met at the bar. But little did he know that, one kiss changes it all.

On the outskirts of Seattle, Washington, a vacant penthouse was constructed by the diligent hands of the world's best architects. Five teens are trapped in the premises of the locked death house made those who stumble upon it torture and struggle to survive. Oblivious to the fact that they have each other, each one of them must find the other in order to survive. Trap doors and secret passage-ways line the walls of the death house and clues behind each corner are sometimes too easy to miss. There is more to the house than what meets the eyes. Buried within the walls is a story about love, loss, and betrayal, a tale even more tragic and greater than their own. Each level, each floor is a step closer to death. It is a situation that seems to have no way out. Will all five of them be able to make it through or will no one be able to get past The 34th Floor?
