ummary

A fashion model moves into a gorgeous New York City brownstone house that has been divided into apartments. The house is inhabited on the top floor by a reclusive blind priest who spends all of his time sitting at his open window. The model begins having strange physical problems, has trouble sleeping at night, and has some nasty flashbacks of her attempted suicide. She complains to the real estate agent of the noise caused by her strange neighbors, only to be told that the house is only occupied by the priest and herself, and ultimately discovers that she has been put in the house for a reason. Things only become more unreal when she discovers that she and the neighbors are not the only inhabitants in the house, and they may not be of this world.

A sequel titled "The Guardian" followed.
