Nikki's friends are being kidnapped one at a time and being forced to face their worst fears.
Students from Nikki's high school are being taken in broad daylight by a masked kidnapper in a mysterious van. When the victims come to, they find themselves each facing their worse fears: closed spaces, two-way mirrors, drowning, knives, and more. Conflicting eyewitnesses, the police, a town curfew, and the school closings are unsuccessful in slowing down the events. When Nikki realizes that only people close to her are being taken, she and her friends are forced to take matters into their own hands. As the days go by, some of those that were kidnapped are found, but the after effects - such as hallucinations of reflections coming to life and cartoon characters ready to kill - prove that survival may not be much better than death.
