He thought he was just watching the neighbors. Until the footage showed someone watching him.

Cal Becker has spent two years hiding in his late mother's house, avoiding the world that destroyed his podcasting career. His only human contact comes through his window—watching the perfect couple across the street with their perfect routines and perfect smiles.

Mark and Elyse Whitaker wave every morning at 7:13 AM. They jog for exactly twelve minutes. They never miss garbage day.

Until the night Cal sees them digging a hole in their backyard at 2:47 AM.

By morning, the hole is gone. The surveillance footage is corrupted. And Cal begins to suspect that the quiet suburban street he's been documenting might be documenting him back.

Armed with his father's old tape recorder and a growing certainty that nothing is what it seems, Cal starts to uncover a truth more disturbing than any story he ever told:

Sometimes the most dangerous thing you can do is look too long.

Part 1 of the addictive psychological thriller series that readers are calling "unputdownable" and "a masterclass in paranoid suspense."

Warning: This serial ends on a cliffhanger. Part 2 releases September 9th.
