This novel takes place in Los Angeles, following the lead character, Jess Golden, who is the lead singer in a band called The Vipers. While performing at a local nightclub, Club Kitty, things begin to go wrong as the roof begins to cave in. Girders fall into the audience and on the stage, setting everyone in the club into panic. As everyone attempts to scramble from the doomed club, girders, chunks of the roof, glass, and band equipment all become weapons of death, taking down everyone in gruesome ways. But as one last chunk of roof drops down on Jess Golden, she blinks, and realizes that nothing of the sort has happened yet. She is still on stage performing one of the band's songs, the way they were when the first girder fell. As she freaks out, she gets herself and a few others kicked out of the club, leading to much argument outside in the alley. Seconds later, the entire club caves in, right next to the few survivors who were kicked outside. Realizing they've cheated Death thanks to Jess, they each feel different emotions towards her and the accident. Had she really had a 'premonition'? Or was she responsible for the club collapsing in the first place? Before she can prove herself innocent, the survivors begin to die, one-by-one in horrific and painful accidents. Soon enough, Jess realizes that Death refuses to take no for an answer.
