Synopsis

Each year, several million single women in America move into an apartment. They won’t know who the previous tenants were, they don't know their landlords, and it won’t occur to them to change the locks.

This is the story of one such woman...

After separating from her adulterous husband, the beautiful Dr Juliet Devereau (Hilary Swank) moves into a luxurious loft apartment in Brooklyn, NY and starts to enjoy her new life. Gradually she becomes aware of mysterious occurrences and she instinctively begins to suspect that she is not alone in her home. All too quickly her fears become a nightmarish reality.
