| Steve is an office worker; he is an ordinary guy who goes calmly along with the events of family life with his wife, Alexandra, and their two children. The day of his birthday, he is promoted. In a hurry to announce the good news, Steve leaves his office and goes home, only to find the house empty and silent. He finds a present and a video inside with a card that reads "watch me." | |||
