OBSERVANCE – Now Available on VOD!

Left reeling from the death of his young son, Parker finds himself languishing in grief. During this time his marriage becomes a shambles and finds bankruptcy looming on the not too distant horizon.

Secreted away in a decrepit old apartment building, Parker finds the perfect spot to best observe the woman he’s been hired to watch.

Lindsay Farris leads a cast
