Emma is torn between her love of ballet and a spooky exhibit at the Haunted Museum where she encounters a music box that seems to follow her. During a friend’s birthday party, the box’s haunting melody lures her in. Once it appears at her door, Emma discovers that each time she dances to its music, her performance surpasses her previous practice—yet the box’s control over her grows stronger. At night, the lid is open, the music plays, and a pale eye watches from inside the mirror. As Emma learns about the box’s history, she realizes she must break its hold before it consumes her entirely, even while her best friend celebrates.
