Sarah moves into a seemingly perfect one bedroom at a sunny Los Angeles complex, hoping for a fresh start. The place feels roomy and friendly, with barbecues, chatty neighbors, and a neighborly feel that suggests she finally found a home. But the surface hides something off kilter. Loud noises intrude at night, her cat vanishes, and the people around her seem a little too eager to help, especially a constant presence who never quite fits in. She begins to document every odd detail, hoping to connect clues that explain the nightly disturbances, the vanished cat, and the strangely helpful neighbors. As days pass, the apartment's comfort gives way to creeping unease and strange demands. Sarah realizes something unfamiliar is at work beneath the everyday facade, and she must figure out what is really going on.

David Marmor directs this tense indie thriller, written from an original screenplay, with a restrained approach. The film stars Nicole Brydon Bloom as Sarah with Giles Matthey, Taylor Nichols, Alan Blumenfeld and Naomi Grossman in supporting roles.

Its worldwide box office came to about 16,125 dollars, underscoring its limited release and tiny audience. Distributed by a small company, the film played in select theaters and mainly found viewers through streaming and on demand platforms.

Cultural footprint is small, with the film mostly seen by genre fans and festival attendees. It mostly serves as a case study in how a single urban space can heighten fear, using sound design and performance to push tension rather than big set pieces.

Critics noted a lean, claustrophobic suspense and a focus on isolation within a city maze. The movie threads fear through Sarah's perspective, pairing a restrained budget with sharp performances that heighten paranoia about trust, boundaries, and the many quiet rules of shared space. Sarah's arc lands with quiet impact.
