Ten kids, the oldest looking atleast fourteen, are held in a prison cell. They had no reason to be there. Thing is, to them, reasons are something that people who are desprate hold onto.
They don't belive in hope, happiness, god, heaven, good, that stuff. They belive in the more dark things; like hell, Jasin, despair, madness. But...they aren't just the excat definsition of pessimests. No, those ten kids are insane.
Insanity struck them each at the very age of 6 at 20:00 (JST). Why? Well...only they know. So...who are they, how did they end up in prison, and who or what is 'Thorn Trients'?
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.
