Plot[]
Teenager Clare Shannon has had a rough life in Cleveland after witnessing her mother's suicide when she was a young girl. Her father is poor and tries to make ends meet by scavenging for valuables out of dumpsters. She has two friends at school, Meredith and June, but is also ostracized by the a clique of bullies led by Darcie Chapman. Clare's father finds an odd vintage Chinese music box and gives it to her as a gift. The box provides the owner with 7 wishes, but with each wish, a price must be paid in blood. Upon completion of the seventh wish, Clare will have to forfeit her soul to a Chinese demon.
Clare begins making wishes, unaware that they are actually coming true as a result of the music box, and even further unaware that the seemingly random deaths taking place around her are tied to the cursed item. Once Clare realizes what is happening, she is faced with a choice: Either continue making wishes in an effort to correct her mistakes, or find a way to destroy the music box.
