Malik Jackson has never told anyone about his terror of the dark. When his friend Ian dares him to join a ghost-hunting mission in an abandoned mansion, Malik is afraid he'll be laughed at if he backs down. Especially since the girl he likes is part of the gang. Malik tells himself that if he stays in well-lit rooms, if the torches have enough batteries, if the power doesn't go out, he should be fine. Right? Darkness is bad enough, but what about those things inside the dark ... things worse than Malik ever imagined!

And did he really die inside the Spirit Cabinet - the box Jake ends up trapped inside during Towers' stage premiere? For whatever reason, Jake can't breathe in there...

But as the ride creaks slowly toward the sky, can Simone keep her cool or is her worst fear about to come true?
