And he won’t let her leave this place alive… Shortly before midnight, four teenagers broke into the old abandoned psychiatric hospital on Beacon Hill. Only three came out again.

Detective Delaney Pace and Sheriff Leo Palmer are called in to investigate. Leo takes in the woman’s petite features, his voice shaking as he turns to Delaney.
