Synopsis: It was a typical summer day. The birds were chirping, the heat swelling in the air, the sun shining brightly. Typical that is, with the exception of being on the run for your life.
Ever since Paul was little, he has had an ominous dream right before each death in the family. Each dream details the last moments of their life in perfect clarity, before it even happens.
However, a week before summer vacation, he has a strange dream of himself running away from a threatening presence. The dream ends right before he lets out a scream. Not wanting to entertain the idea of his own possible demise, he shrugs it off and tries to enjoy his summer by spending time with his best friend, Hunter, and hanging out at his favorite place in town, the mall.
One evening after spending the day alone at the mall, he accidentally gets locked in. Security discovers this and begins hunting him down. Unfortunately, the security guards are not the only ones looking for him.
