Ep 4. Tunnel Of Hate

Tunnel of Hate focuses on two neighbors living in a peaceful suburban neighborhood in Tennessee, United States. They share a driveway that is adjacent to a long tunnel that connects their homes. Despite initially being friendly, their relationship deteriorates due to various disagreements, with one neighbor, Janice Coolidge, feeling harassed by the other, Jerry "Butch" Baker.

Janice starts to feel increasingly isolated and unsafe in her own home because of Butch's constant presence. She believes he has hacked into her security system and is watching her every move. Her fears escalate when Butch starts to make violent threats against her, prompting her to install more security cameras and alarms around her property.

The tension between the two neighbors reaches a boiling point when Butch starts to block Janice's access to the shared driveway, refusing to move his car.
