Against her wishes, high school sophomore Abbie Montgomery's life has been turned upside, packed in boxes, and shipped off to Dixon Mills, Missouri. Goodbye, old life, and hello, creepy new house and snobby rich kids. And to make things worse, she's recently been assigned to take care of a robot baby for her parenting class. That's when things start to get... weird. Something about this baby is off. Strange occurrences begin to happen when she brings the baby home, and sometimes, in the middle of the night, Abbie feels like she's being watched. As Abbie digs deeper into the mystery alongside her new friend Simone and the football hottie Jordan, the group realizes something dangerous has followed Abbie home. Something dangerous and very, very angry.
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.
