The American Julia and her Romanian American husband Francis move from New York to Bucharest and are welcomed by the super Eleonora of the apartment building where they will live. Julia was an actress in the USA and does not speak Romanian. Francis works in marketing and has a great professional opportunity returning to Romania. Julia stays alone in the apartment along the days and notes that a watcher is looking at her apartment. While walking on the neighborhood, Julia and Francis see the police and learn that a serial-killer, Spider, has killed his fourth victim and her decapitated body was found nearby their building. On the next day, Julia goes to the movie theater and a man moves to the seat behind her. She leaves the movie theater and goes to the supermarket and the stalker follows her. She believes the stalker and the watcher are the same man but she cannot prove. Soon she befriends her next-door neighbor Irina, who lived in London and has a perfect English. When Julia sees the man on the street, she follows him and finds that he works as janitor in the club where Irina works. Julia follows the man everywhere and Francis believes she is stressed and paranoid. But is she really paranoid or has may be the watcher the wanted serial-killer?
