The episode opens with Jenny and Dan, a young couple who have just moved into their new home. They are happy and excited to start their new life together in their dream home. One night, as they are settling in for the night, they hear a loud noise coming from outside. They brush it off as just the wind, but as the night goes on, strange things start happening. The lights flicker on and off and the couple starts hearing strange noises coming from all over the house.
As the night progresses, the couple becomes increasingly scared and paranoid. They decide to call the police, but when the officers arrive, they find no evidence of anyone being in or around the house. The police leave, but the couple is still afraid and decides to sleep in the same room for the rest of the night.
The next day, things seem to have calmed down, and Jenny and Dan are relieved. However, their relief is short-lived when they start receiving threatening phone calls from an unknown caller. The calls continue throughout the day, and the couple is unable to figure out who is behind them.
Things take a turn for the worse when the couple receives a package in the mail containing a photograph of them sleeping in their bed the night before. They realize that someone was in their house, watching them while they slept. The couple is thoroughly creeped out and decides to install a security system to give them peace of mind.
However, the security system only seems to make things worse. The couple starts receiving constant alerts that someone is in their house, but every time they go to investigate, they find no one. They become more and more paranoid, and their relationship starts to suffer as a result.
