Someone wants revenge.
You’re certain no one could access this luxury gated community, designed to keep intruders out. But then the second video arrives – the same as the first – and you really begin to panic.

Everyone is hiding something.
Could someone be living in your attic? Why would a stranger target you? And what if it’s not a stranger at all?
