Synopsis/Details: 

Midnight fury erupts in a student household. Fiery student Ciska has found a miniature spy camera set up in her room. She’s certain that Zhang is responsible, the student who lives in a converted loft at the top of the house.

He’s a tech geek. No-one really knows him. He hardly mixes with anyone else there. And she’s noticed the way he looks at her. She doesn’t hesitate to turn his room upside down looking for evidence.

Her hunch may be irrational, but she clings to it, as more electronic eyes turn up in the other bedrooms. Peacemaker Abigail and her jock boyfriend Liam were being watched. So was gay, witty Jacob, the house’s comic relief (although there’s increasingly less to laugh about).

It's not just a matter of basic privacy. This is a household with secrets – secrets that need to keep hidden. Secrets those electronic eyes may have recorded.

Zhang will be home soon, and Ciska is bursting to confront him. But when he returns, he'll be the first to recognise what’s really going on...
