Neighboring Sounds

When an atypical spate of burglaries frays the comfort zone of an upper-middle-class apartment complex's residents, a security firm conveniently steps up with promises to allay their tensions and safeguard the neighborhood. As the lookouts' very presence only stirs the locals' deep-seated resentments, a surprising agenda comes to light.
