The Plot That Had Everyone Hooked
Anna (played by Kristen Bell) is a depressed, alcoholic woman who spends her days drinking endless glasses of wine and spying on her neighbors from her window. When a charming single father moves in across the street, she becomes obsessed with him. But everything changes the night she believes she witnesses a shocking murder.
What follows is a hilarious yet dark spiral of paranoia, obsession, and absurdity as Anna tries to solve the “crime” while battling her own demons.
