Joseph Lee is a ruined man. He watched his wife gunned
down right in front of him on Christmas Day and just cannot
seem to move past the horror, pain, and depression. That is
why it is a good thing that his wife was pretty rich and
left everything to him in her will. Still, Joseph just
cannot move past it. He never leaves the house and even has
groceries and anything else he needs delivered to the house.
Then, one day, his doorbell rings. This is a very unexpected
and startling thing because no one ever comes to his house
save for the occasional delivery. Half unsettled and half
curious, he opens the door to find a very attractive and
smiling couple. They tell him that they are his new
neighbors and have come to introduce themselves.
Joseph could manage to get past the fact that these
strangers are coming to his house, but what he cannot manage
is that the woman looks eerily like his deceased wife. Their
names are Riso and Zala and they have come to invite him to
a barbecue at their house. Joseph does not seem to be able
to say no, so he agrees to come to their house later that
evening.
This is the beginning of a very strange and intense journey
for Joseph because he has no idea what is to come. By the
time he does understand, he knows that he has to find the
courage to fight for his life if he is ever going to survive
this.

A psychological thriller that pits a community against a
man, and that man against himself.
Joseph Lee lost his wife, the love of his life. She was
slain in their home, right under his nose. As if the grief
weren’t enough, Lee was also blamed for her murder. At the
end of the day, the detectives didn’t have any proof that
Lee was the murderer, but that didn’t stop the community
from shunning him or his friends and family from cutting him
out of their lives. They didn’t need proof, they said.
Left to stew in his own self-loathing, a miserable existence
of solitude and narcotics, Lee is alone with his regrets and
his remorse. But his life is about to change—there is hope
yet for this hopeless man. A beautiful woman who looks
uncannily like his deceased wife moves into the vacant house
across the road, sparking something in Joseph Lee that he
thought was long dead.
But after the light at the end of the tunnel, there is even
more darkness for Lee. This beautiful lookalike, and the
house she now calls home, are hiding terrible secrets that
will unravel everything Lee thought he knew about himself,
his neighbors, and his deceased wife.
