2: 17 AM: Every Night At 2:17 AM... He Watches.

Every night at 2:17 AM... she hears him.

Footsteps.
Slow. Deliberate. Always the same.

At first, Ava Carter tells herself it's nothing. Just an upstairs neighbor. Just an old building making noise.

Until the sounds change.

Dragging.
Heavy thuds.
And the unmistakable feeling that someone is always watching.

Then, as a joke, she posts online:
If a masked man breaks into my apartment... I might just keep him.

Two nights later-
someone does.

He doesn't hurt her.
He doesn't run.

He whispers,
You shouldn't invite strangers.

Now Ava is caught in a dangerous game between fear and obsession, drawn to a man who watches her in the dark, protects her like she belongs to him... and hides secrets that could get them both killed.

Because he isn't the only one watching her.

And the masked man in her apartment might be the only reason she's still alive.
