After Mama kills her abusive boyfriend, she and eleven-year-old Lucy Hazel go on the run. They end up at a hotel in the countryside. At first, the hotel is the answer to Lucy's prayers. The owners ask no questions and even give Mama a job cleaning the rooms. 

But slowly, she starts to notice something strange about the hotel. There are never any new arrivals, only permanent guests. A girl wanders the hallway at night, covered in blood, but Mama never sees her. Then there is the horrible stench coming into room twenty-three, the only room Lucy isn't allowed to enter. 

The hotel stops feeling like the answer to Lucy's prayers and the beginning of a nightmare.

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.
