Mysterious incidents contribute to his confusion. Intruders break into his house, ominous messages are relayed and clues emerge indicating that he is being watched.

One night Frank's neighbor, Dave, is discovered in Frank's apartment. Dave explains that he was concerned for Frank's belongings because it appeared that someone had broken in. An unsure friendship develops between the two men.
