For years, Garrett and Lloyd Thornbury have lived in the same apartment building without a hint of excitement-until a new couple moves into the long-vacant apartment across the courtyard. Garrett, a mystery novelist grappling with a paralysing writer's block, becomes obsessed with the strange behaviour of the tenants. At first, it's all just curiosity-but when a violent argument breaks out, followed by disturbing events, Garrett's fascination turns to obsession.
As the couple's dark secrets unfold, Garrett's reality begins to blur with fiction. When a gruesome discovery shocks them, Garrett is plunged deeper into a twisted game of voyeurism, manipulation, and violence. With each passing day, the boundary between his story and the truth grows increasingly unclear.
But the most chilling question remains: Who is really watching whom?

Nostalgia flooded my body when I passed by our quiet, lonely, and green park, the one that welcomed us when we were together, just you and me.

From the moment I saw you that coincidental day, I knew that love had finally arrived in my life, and I will continue to stand by your side as your wife until my body can no longer go on.Complete
