How do you escape a nightmare?

August 27th, 19:20. Two unfortunate traveling companions find themselves stranded on the side of the lonely, untraveled road. 

They come upon a small, idyllic town. Just beneath the woods, guarded by the creeks. Townspeople seem decent enough, so the pair decides to spend the night.

As the night falls, the town's deeply guarded and horrifying secrets start to emerge. The horrors start of innocent enough, but quickly descend into a nightmare they desperately need to escape. But is it already too late?

"All the chefs are here to serve you!" the sign boasted. Lonely rose was peacefully leaning on the rough wooden frame.  

Emily carried on. After a while, she saw something in the distance. Another sign. Identical to the one she left behind, same bushes and same stones. Same lonely rose leaning on the wood...

If only she could find Austin...

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.
