However, peace is an illusion in this world. Millie quickly becomes convinced she is being watched from a window across the street. She hears strange scratching noises in the walls at night and notices her children behaving oddly. When a dark secret in their new neighborhood is uncovered, Millie is pulled back into a world of hidden motives, betrayal, and murder, forcing her to question whether anyone—including her own family—is who they seem to be.
