Plot
According to the Polish Film Festival of Los Angeles' Film Gallery: "The classic story of 'boy meets girl' goes horribly wrong when, Ryan, a charming young bank teller becomes instantly obsessed the moment he sees the frosty, career-driven Angelica. Consumed by his curiosity, Ryan begins stalking Angelica, desperate to know more about her. He stumbles upon the perfect opportunity to spy on the woman of his dreams when he is hired by Dolores as a part-time maintenance man and moves into an apartment across the street from Angelica. As the line separating love and lust becomes harder to define, his growing fascination sends him deeper into a bizarre world of obsession and infatuation, but things are not always what they seem in this twisty tale of psychological suspense."
