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.

Jess is eager to start college--until she arrives at her off-campus dorm.

She can see why everyone calls it Nightmare Hall. Especially when she learns the dark secret hidden within the house.

A girl named Giselle hanged herself there. In Jess's room.

But was it really suicide?

Or was Giselle murdered?

Echoing through the house, Jess can still hear the sound of Giselle's last scream. . .

Jess arrives at her room in the off-campus dorm only to find that the previous occupant supposedly committed suicide by hanging herself.
