"Silent Resident" is an atmospheric psycho thriller told from the perspective of a young woman who is the apparent victim of a conspiracy, and who later becomes herself a perpetrator.
Hannah, a young woman who lives in an enormous city of tall apartment buildings, finally succeeds at leaving her latently violent husband. With the help of friends she even manages to improve her social standing somewhat by moving to one of the better floors. After falling in love again, she would seem to have found perfect happiness, but mysterious and frightening events begin to occur in her "new town." At first merely an observer, she increasingly becomes the center of the erplexing situation. After turning into the victim, she seems to gradually piece together the horrible secret of Newtown.
