Samson Sigal is a man everyone considers a failure. At thirty, he is unemployed and lives with his brother and his wife. He is withdrawn and strange, and his only hobby is watching his neighbors—especially the beautiful and successful Jillian Ward.
But when Jillian’s husband is killed, Samson becomes a suspect, because his diary ends up in the hands of the police. The only person who believes in his innocence is a former police officer, Jillian’s former friend.
