Slum Lord on Liberty Avenue

In the pursuit of the American dream, the Betts family seeks a fresh start in a cozy Queens apartment. With their sights set on building a legacy, Roger Betts—an Alternative to Incarceration Counselor—and his wife Eve—an overworked doctor at one of the metro area’s busiest hospitals—believe they're starting a new chapter. However, their dream quickly spirals into a nightmare as they uncover the sinister truth behind their seemingly idyllic living situation. Their landlord, Narine Bishundia, harbors a dark obsession with Eve, pulling the Betts family into a chilling web of manipulation and deceit. Once a convicted felon, Narine’s psychotic tendencies resurface as he begins to invade their personal space, sabotaging their life in the apartment with horrifying tactics.
