At dawn, Gregor is woken by the police knocking at his door. They have come to pick up the body of his next-door neighbor, who has been dead for two years without anybody noticing. Gregor tries to deal with his conscience, slowly changing as he becomes contaminated by this death which now haunts him. He gradually sinks into paranoia. When the night comes, there’s no turning back.
