A hotel that has been the scene of numerous gruesome crimes.
An abduction from one of the rooms.
And Robyn, who witnessed it all through her window …
17-year-old Robyn is obsessed with Ambrosia, the hotel opposite her flat. Its dark history and dodgy long-term guests fascinate the true-crime lover so much that she often sits at the window with binoculars. She knows the routines of the staff, the habits of the guests and the odd dirty secret. Secretly, Robyn dreams of cracking a cold case. But then she witnesses a kidnapping – and the victim is no stranger to Robyn. She immediately realises: she has to do something! But how? Robyn is unable to leave her flat on the sixth floor due to illness. Without further ado, she sends A.J., a teenager from the street, to Ambrosia to investigate with her. But neither of them realise what horrors are lurking in the hotel …
