What's with that eerie music and disturbing static? Most importantly, where is Alex? As Emma tries to make sense of it all, she remains oblivious to the fact that her life is about to take a drastic turn. The full extent of this chilling tale is waiting to be uncovered, and it's up to you to piece it together.
