Imagine living a life where you constantly feel like someone is watching you. Emery McDermott knows this feeling all too well. She's being stalked, and it's driving her to the brink of insanity. One mistake, one wrong decision, and her life will be forever changed. What will she do?

                                                    *******
Emery McDermott's life has been anything but normal. Raised by parents who believed that the end of the world was imminent, she spent her entire childhood in isolation from society. When tragedy struck and Emery was left orphaned, her Aunt Mālie took her in as a young teen who had never before experienced life outside the safety of her parents' doomsday preparations.

Now enrolled in a new high school, Emery struggles to navigate the unfamiliar social norms and make friends. But just as she's about to throw in the towel, something unimaginable happens: she becomes the target of a stalker who seems to be everywhere she turns. Emery's once-safe world is turned upside down as she is relentlessly hunted, constantly looking over her shoulder and struggling to hold onto her sanity.

As the stalker closes in, Emery makes a fatal mistake that changes her life forever. Will she be able to escape the clutches of her deranged stalker and reclaim her life, or will she fall victim to their twisted games?
