This story is not for the faint of heart as it contains graphic violence, adult language as well as frightening scenes. Viewer discretion is advised. "Darkness. The unknown. It's depths terrifying children when they go to sleep at night, shrouding the monsters that hide within it's dark hold. It clutches the deepest, darkest fears of a single person, holding the power of control over them. It wouldn't be so intimidating if we knew that it had to end at some point, even in death." Imagine finding yourself in a dark place with no recollection of where you were, no memory of the life you had, a blank page of who you are. The monsters from your nightmares, the fears hidden and tucked away in the back of your mind, and the dangers that plague us, all come to life; it's a place where the lines of reality and sanity is blurred. In a place like the Inferno, it's only the beginning. Nine strangers fight for a way out, fight for a chance of survival. The only thing? Will they be able to overcome their darkest fears or will they succumb to them? No way to stay safe. No way to trust anyone. No way in knowing what will happen next. Fear. Danger. Lies. You won't survive.
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.
