An American ballet student, Suzy Bannion, arrives in Freiburg, Germany, to attend a prestigious dance academy. She arrives amidst a torrential downpour and is met with a strange encounter: another student, Pat, flees the school in a state of terror. Suzy is denied entry into the academy that night and is forced to seek accommodation elsewhere. Unbeknownst to her, the night marks the beginning of a series of gruesome murders and supernatural occurrences.

As Suzy begins her dance training, she becomes increasingly ill and disoriented. The vibrant academy, with its imposing architecture and commanding instructors, appears to hide sinister secrets beneath its polished surface. Meanwhile, Suzy befriends another student, Sara, who shares her suspicions about the strange events unfolding around them. Together, they delve into the history of the academy, which seems to be connected to a coven of witches that once operated in the region. As they attempt to unravel the chilling mysteries within the school's walls, they find themselves entangled in a labyrinth of deception and peril.
