Synopsis/Details
As Harold, a blind man, carefully enters the dark hall of his apartment building, he trips on something he can’t identify. It’s not garbage as he thinks, but the dead body of a young woman. While Harold may not be able to see, he does smell the perfume of another witness. She hides from him, perhaps having something to hide herself. She, or maybe one of Harold’s neighbors is the murderer. If not, perhaps the corpse is a message for Harold, a warning from his secret past. Whatever the case may be, the crime happened right at Harold's doorstep, close enough to scare every innocent neighbor too. These neighbors -- a pretty female college student, an artist with ADHD, and a plastic surgeon -- could all be next victim..; òr the killer. Although? They each have their quirks, but don’t seem to be criminals. Do they? The student tenant, Cindy, seems too nice to suspect, which can’t be said of her ex-boyfriend whom she failed to mention to the police. The nervous ADHD-artist may not have Cindy’s charms, but that doesn’t make him a killer. And the plastic surgeon, Ambrosius, makes women look beautiful, not dead. Who done it? Or rather, who didn’t?
