Her eyes flutter open, she moves to stretch her arms but finds she can't, still partly asleep she trys rolling over, its just a dream. She can't role over, why can't she role over?, now alarmed, and awake she rapidly feels around her.She seemed to be in a box of some sort covered in cushions of satin and her head was resting gently on a pillow, when she came to the realization is was not a box but a coffin. She began to bang forcefully on the walls of her plush cage she now believed she was six feet under and no amount of struggle would ever save her.
She immediately flashed back to her in her home, popping pills, Avastin, Oxycontin or anything she could get her hands on. Her regard for her whole life was so little and in that day she had never wanted to die more because she thought there was no pain worse than living the life she was. But now she was different, her life meant something, like it hadn't in such a long time, she needed to survive to get through this.
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.
