A psychological thriller built on the creeping dread of a charming stranger whose true nature remains hidden, generating sustained paranoia about proximity and trust.

A romance novelist (David Arquette) moves into a "cottage" behind the home of a composer and his family. He seems sweet, but what do they really know about him?
