The Russells, a regular family of three people, move across her street and something about them doesn’t sit well with Anna. Then one day, she witnesses something gruesome, which no one was supposed to know. Her paranoia seeps deeper and deeper and she lives every moment on the edge. Entrapped in a world of disturbing lies, unable to differentiate between hallucinations and reality, Anna faces the worst of her fears.
