A darkly playful psychological thriller about a voyeuristic young man grappling with maternal loss, desire, and the blurred line between obsession and connection.

Hallam's talent for spying on people reveals his darkest fears-and his most peculiar desires. Driven to expose the true cause of his mother's death, he instead finds himself searching the rooftops of the city for love.
