Phoebe, the youngest in her family, barely existed in her parents eyes, until after one day. One day that scarred the family. Well, the second 'one day' that left them traumatized for the rest of their days.
After getting into a University on scholarship, Phoebe's brother, Ryan, becomes the center of attention and Phoebe thinks she's gone unnoticed-- until one day when she becomes noticed in someone else's eyes. But not only her eyes, but her eyes, ears, hands, and feet-- she becomes controlled.
Her family had ignored her, but she was going to make them remember her-- in the scariest of ways, but those aren't the only words she remembers.
In her dreams, she always hears the same words... every night.
"I will only leave when I have truly been remembered,"
But Phoebe's not herself anymore. She's someone else.
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.
