Dispirited over losing his job after the 9/11 tragedy, American accountant Terry Allen (Peter Krause) spends his days sending out resumes and watching programs about his country's war on terrorism. When an Islamic chemistry graduate student named Gabe Hassan (Khaled Abol Naga) unexpectedly moves in next door, Allen's quiet existence is shattered. When he sees Hassan taking out his rubbish in the dead of the night and receiving frequent visits from a variety of Middle Eastern men, he becomes obsessed with harrowing suspicions that his odd new neighbor is a terrorist. From that point on, he spies on Hassan, examines his trash, desperately reports on him to the police and slowly goes out of his mind. As both his wife Marla (Kari Matchett) and cynical FBI agent Tom Hillary (Richard Schiff) are skeptical about his conspiracy theory, Allen realizes he must take matters into his own hands. |
