A claustrophobic psychological horror about grief-stricken parents who trap a voyeuristic stranger in their home, mistaking him for their dead son, descending into mutual madness and despair.

Alex has a disturbing hobby of following strangers...until one night he gets caught. Instead of calling the police, the couple--fascinated by Alex's resemblance to their dead son--asks him to stay, and Alex finds himself trapped in a horrifying existence of desperation, despair, and insanity.
