Penfield Gruber, a once great scientist, is reduced to managing a sleazy hotel. He monitors the daily comings and goings of his tenants, mainly for his own interest, until underworld figures ask him to spy on a suspected double-crosser. While watching the man, Gruber overhears a murder plot.

A disgraced scientist turns his lonely hotel management job into a voyeuristic surveillance game. When he eavesdrops on a potential murder plot, his quiet isolation shatters into a dangerous underworld conflict.
