Jackie is a CCTV operator. Each day, she watches over a small part of the world, protecting the people living their lives under her gaze. One day, a man shows his face on her monitor, a man she thought she would never see again, a man she hoped never to see again. Now she has no choice and is compelled to confront him.

A chillingly realistic descent into obsession. The film's stark portrayal of surveillance and its psychological toll creates a palpable sense of dread. It's a raw, unflinching look at the consequences of unchecked anger and the blurred lines of justice.
