Anna Fox mora sozinha na bela casa que um dia abrigou sua família feliz. Separada do marido e da filha e sofrendo de uma fobia que a mantém reclusa, ela passa os dias bebendo (muito) vinho, assistindo a filmes antigos, conversando com estranhos na internet e...espionando os vizinhos. Quando os Russells - pai, mãe e o filho adolescente - se mudam para a casa do outro lado do parque, Anna fica obcecada por aquela família perfeita. Até que certa noite, bisbilhotando através de sua câmera, ela vê na casa deles algo que a deixa aterrorizada e faz seu mundo começar a ruir.

Elle a tout vu, mais faut-il la croire ? Séparée de son mari et de leur fille, Anna vit recluse dans sa maison de Harlem, abreuvée de merlot, de bêtabloquants et de vieux polars en noir et blanc. Quand elle ne joue pas aux échecs sur internet, elle espionne ses voisins. Surtout la famille Russell - un père, une mère et un adorable ado -, qui vient d'emménager en face. Un soir, Anna est témoin d'un crime. Mais comment convaincre la police quand on doute soi-même de sa raison ?
