When a woman rents a miserably tiny room, she finds mountains of belongings from the previous tenant, Anthony, as well as a backlog of messages on the machine from the landlord, his mother, and disparate acquaintances. As she cleans up the place, she begins to experience uncanny visions, nightmares, and the feeling that Anthony is much closer than she imagined. Terror haunts her sweaty-summer mind as she ritualistically cleans the room, strips to old-fashioned bra and panties, climbs in the fridge to cool down, and makes pudding.
