Madison is a married woman who has the house to herself on Halloween - her least favorite holiday - while her husband Dan goes on a work trip. The hot personal trainer neighbor next door keeps grabbing her attention, and since she's "single" for the day, she fantasizes about him with her friend Kara on the phone.

But what if these salacious phone conversations are sending the wrong message to someone watching her? And what if her broken apartment door didn't completely close after that trick-or-treater or delivery man left? Madison will face a terror she never saw coming.

    A little anxious being alone on Halloween, and with a wonky front door that won't stay shut. But her neighbor Liam, friend Kara, ex-boyfriend Scott, and other strangers keep her distracted.
