PlotDr. Juliet Devereau, a recently separated ER doctor, is looking for a fresh start and finds an attractive and affordable apartment in Brooklyn.

Although initially relieved and optimistic about her new home, Juliet begins to feel unsettled when she experiences strange occurrences, like unexplained noises and items being moved. Questions start to arise about the real reason the apartment was available at such a reasonable price and who Max truly is.
As Juliet delves deeper into these mysteries, her unease grows, and she starts to suspect that she is not alone in the apartment.
