action
Claire Peterson, in her 40s and a high school teacher, has just got over her divorce (in the film they are in the year of separation) from husband Garrett Peterson and is now a single mother to care for her son Kevin. Since the divorce has clearly affected Claire, she starts an affair with her 20-year-old neighbor Noah at a weak moment. For Claire it is clear that it was a one-night stand , since Noah is far too young for her. However, he sees it very differently; he turns out to be a stalker and pushes his way more and more into Claire's life. He befriends her son and ex-husband and watches her at school. Claire suspects that they will all soon be in danger.

The “references to classics should enhance the story”, but would “make the film completely ridiculous”. The magazine epd Film described the film as a “90-minute grinding of teeth in the soul of every film lover”, in which “traditional stylistic devices of erotic thrillers were put together against all logic”.
