A woman just out of college finishing with her Master’s degree begins to feel eerily strange in her own home and her own town. A man watches her profusely but never lets her see him. She’s a writer who enjoys traveling, collecting cassettes, and wandering aimlessly through book stores in her free time. Wherever she goes, he’s there. With a past she’d rather not revisit, she searches for the man down every street corner and when she finds herself in the grips of an infamous man, she fears more than her comfortability. Throughout all this, she's balancing her job as an editor and columnist for her local paper, Journal Sentinel.
