Steven Kovacs is a recently single man trying to start afresh in his new apartment. When he calls to get cable installed, he meets Chip Douglas, an eccentric and overly friendly cable installer. Chip offers Steven free cable in exchange for friendship, which Steven reluctantly accepts, thinking it's a harmless deal. However, Steven soon realizes that Chip is not what he seems. Chip begins to invade Steven's personal life, showing up uninvited and involving himself in Steven’s relationships and professional matters.

As Steven attempts to distance himself from Chip, Chip's behavior becomes increasingly erratic and obsessive. What started as an innocent friendship offer turns into a nightmare as Chip's true nature and motivations are revealed. Chip's relentless pursuit of Steven’s friendship leads to a series of bizarre and unsettling events that not only jeopardize Steven’s relationships but also threaten his sanity. The situation escalates to a dangerous level, compelling Steven to confront the reality of who Chip really is and find a way to extricate himself from the situation before it's too late.
