High on a hillside overlooking Salem University, hidden in shadows and shrouded in silence, sits Nightingale Hall. Nightmare Hall, the students call it. Because that's where the terror began. A bonfire seems like the perfect way for Tory and her friends to celebrate. But when the winds gust and the fire gets out of control, everyone panics. All they think about is how to escape. It isn't until later that they realize their buddy Hoop isn't with them. They've left him there to die. And now someone wants to make sure that Hoop's friends pay for their carelessness. . .with their lives.
