Luke Benoit realizes someone is watching him. The signs start small but grow unmistakable. His daily routines feel exposed. His movements seem anticipated. He cannot identify who follows him or why they want him, but their presence becomes undeniable. Luke tries to continue his ordinary life while this surveillance intensifies around him. He searches for answers about his watchers and their motives. The pursuit forces him to examine his past and question everyone he trusts. As the net tightens, Luke must decide whether to run or confront whatever force has marked him as their target. His struggle becomes one of survival and self-discovery in a world where privacy has vanished and paranoia might be his only rational response.
