From South Africa comes a truly creepy horror debut, widely praised for
its originality, social commentary, and roller coaster twists
Dan works at a mall bookstore where nothing ever happens. An angsty
emo-kid selling mid-list books to mid-list people for minimum wage, he
hates his job. Rhoda has dragged her babysitting charge to the mall so
she can meet her coke dealer. Now the kid's run off, and she has two
hours to find him. She hates her life. Rhoda bullies Dan into helping
her, but as they explore the neon-lit corridors behind the mall,
disturbing text messages lure them into the bowels of the building,
where old mannequins are stored in grave-like piles and raw sewage drips
off the ceiling. The only escape is down, and before long Dan and Rhoda
are trapped in a service elevator--and it's not stopping at the bottom
floor. Plummeting into the earth, Dan and Rhoda enter a sinister
underworld that mirrors their worst fears.
