After quickly tidying his messy apartment, he steps out to dispose of the trash. Upon his return, however, he's met with an inexplicable and disturbing scenario: a man named Greg is inside, claiming the apartment as his own. As Guy desperately tries to assert his ownership, Greg presents photos and evidence that contradict Guy's claims. The situation intensifies with the arrival of a food delivery and, most shockingly, Tiffany, who sides with Greg and denies ever knowing Guy. Increasingly disoriented and questioning his own sanity, Guy is forced to leave his own home, stepping into a reality where his identity seems to be unraveling. This story blends elements of psychological thriller and dark comedy, leaving the audience to question the nature of reality and the fragility of identity.
