Carla Roberts lives alone in the top of a highrise building, frightened by the sound of the lift stopping and opening on her floor, with nobody getting out. Days later, she's found brutally murdered. Meanwhile Samson Segal, an unemployed thirty-something, has taken to spying on his neighbors, particularly beautiful and successful Gillian Ward.

Er beobachtet das Leben wildfremder Frauen. Träumt sich an ihre Seite, in ihren Alltag. Identifiziert sich mit ihnen und will alles von ihnen wissen. Als Beobachter. Auf der Flucht vor seinem eigenen Dasein, das aus Misserfolgen besteht. Nur aus der Ferne liebt er die schöne Gillian Ward. Die beruflich erfolgreiche Frau, glücklich verheiratet, Mutter einer reizenden Tochter, wird von ihm über die Maßen idealisiert. Bis er zu seinem Entsetzen erkennt, dass er auf eine Fassade hereingefallen ist. Denn nichts ist so, wie es scheint. Gleichzeitig schreckt eine Mordserie die Menschen in London auf. Die Opfer: alleinstehende Frauen. Auf eine rachsüchtige, sadistische Weise umgebracht. Die Polizei sucht einen Psychopathen. Einen Mann, der Frauen hasst.
