Roman is a lonely young man who yearns to find love, happiness and companionship. Trapped in a life of tedium, Roman's one pleasure is his obsession with an attractive young woman who lives in his building complex. When a chance encounter with the girl goes horribly wrong, a moment of desperation triggers a turn of events leading to murder. As he teeters between fantasy and reality, Roman's struggle to hide his secret is further complicated by an eccentric neighbour who develops an unlikely attraction towards him.

After May, Lucky McKee and Angela Bettis join forces to tell the story of Roman. But this time trading seats: McKee has the leading role and Bettis the director’s chair. A small independent wonder.
