Since this is a found footage style film, it is largely centred around characters recording each other (using CCTV cameras and other devices) without their knowledge. A character also follows another character in her car and goes through his belongings.

The son presents a lot of autistic traits, he didn’t like being touched as a baby, is uncomfortable with eye contact, has difficulty to understand social cues, etc. His mom assumes this means he’s a psychopath and uses this to justify her stalking and abusing him.
