Description：
In Minton County, the rain never seems to end, and neither does the feeling that something is rotting beneath the surface. The hospital is overflowing, funerals are becoming routine, and Lena keeps moving from one patient to the next, holding herself together with discipline, savings, and the hope of a future beyond this dying town.
Then there is the man who keeps showing up at night.
Once, he had a room of his own. Once, he had plans, a girlfriend who believed in him, and a life that still looked salvageable. But business failure, debt, gambling, and eviction have stripped him down to something desperate and dangerous. Now he sleeps on hospital benches, steals what little cash he can, and watches Lena from the shadows as if she is the last solid thing left in the world.
To Lena, he is no one. To him, she becomes a need he cannot let go.
As his fixation deepens, the line between watching and invading begins to disappear. Every locked door starts to look temporary. Every ordinary routine becomes a chance to get closer. And in a town already numbed by illness and loss, Lena may not realize she is being drawn into the path of a man with nothing left to lose.
A dark psychological thriller about obsession, collapse, and the quiet moments before violence begins.
