Emily Downer. Something is not right with Emily Downer. Then again why wouldn't there be anything wrong with her? Nothing is ever right with anybody, is it? She lives in a very messed up world. She doesn't know it, that's a problem, a big one. She doesn't care about the warnings, she doesn't listen, she knows, she ignores, shes a problem, a big one. She'll find out the truth one day, it won't be good. There's something wrong with her. Everything is wrong. From her closest friends to complete strangers, from national landmarks to a dumb piece of trash on the sidewalk. Once she finds out the truth it'll tear her apart day by day, week by week, month by month, year by year ...literally.
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.
