Rachel, a young woman in serious debt, needs to find a job fast before she's made homeless. She gets a lucky break when she is offered a great position in a successful company. But something about the place doesn't feel right, and she discovers that the building was once a Victorian sweatshop with a tragic history.

Soon her new job becomes a living nightmare. Rachel desperately wants out but she has no other way of escaping her debts. She's trapped. Then she makes a shocking discovery.

Haunted by the death of others and as the present and past begin to close in, Rachel needs to find answers before she finds herself in grave danger . . .
