He hasn't been able to stop thinking about her since she walked into his consulting room. Desperate to break through her façade, he proposes something unusual: she'll write him a story about each resident of the building opposite, floor by floor. But as he becomes consumed by her tales, his own mask begins to slip. How does she know so much about these strangers' lives? And what's waiting on the final floor?
