[edit] Plot
Alex Rose and Nancy Kendricks are a young couple who are looking for a perfect home. They finally settle for a duplex in Brooklyn, unaware that an old lady living upstairs might just drive them mad.
After the old woman (seemingly unintentionally) ruins the couple's lives, they hire a hit man to kill her, but she defends herself with her dead husband's harpoon, and the hit man fails.
Alex and Nancy decide to evict themselves, but find out that the old woman has died right when they leave. They contemplate their strange encounters, while it is revealed that the landlord of the duplex and the cop who distrusts the couple are the old woman's sons, and the woman (who is not dead) do this all the time, harassing young couples and faking their mother's death.
