In a luxurious apartment in a peaceful suburb, eighteen-year-old Star is trying to find her place in the world after her mother's sudden death. With a passion for music and a quiet, independent nature, she navigates college life and the emptiness of grief. But Star's life takes a complicated turn when Brian, her fifty-six-year-old neighbor, begins to offer her help - from rides to school to lending a listening ear. Though Star finds his attention flattering at first, she doesn't see the dark obsession brewing behind Brian's kind gestures. As their daily interactions grow, so does Brian's fixation on her, blurring the lines between kindness and control. But Star finds herself increasingly dependent on his company, even as her personal space is quietly invaded. With her past controlling family members still looming, Star's future becomes uncertain. Will she recognise the danger before it's too late, or will she be consumed by it?
