Mara and James needed a fresh start. A quiet street. A clean lease. A charming Victorian duplex that felt like a promise. Frank, the landlord, is clear about one thing: the upstairs is vacant-locked and off-limits. No one lives up there. Then the first night passes... and the house learns their schedule. At the same time every night, footsteps cross the ceiling above their living room-three measured steps, deliberate and heavy, like someone pacing a room that shouldn't exist. Mara starts documenting. James wants explanations. Frank offers rehearsed reassurances. And the more they push for the truth, the more the building responds-turning ordinary maintenance into a tightening pattern of pressure, denial, and escalation. Because the upstairs isn't empty. And whatever lives in that space doesn't want witnesses-it wants attention. VACANT is a slow-burn, claustrophobic haunted-house thriller about boundaries, bureaucracy, and what happens when the most dangerous thing in a home is the one door you're never allowed to open.
