The Watcher: A Tale from Paradise Heights
Synopsis
And tonight is Halloween...
A little girl sits by her window, scared by 'the man' outside
A family man begins his lonely, night time vigil
A taxi driver begins a shift he will never forget
And a Loan Shark stalks the streets still haunted by his past
