Eyewitness

In the neon‑lit veins of New York City, a modest office tower becomes the quiet stage for lives that pulse just beneath its surface. Daryll Deever, a diligent janitor, spends his evenings glued to the nightly news, drawn to the sharp intellect and composure of Toni Sokolow, a respected news presenter whose voice carries through the building’s corridors. The city’s relentless rhythm seeps into their routines, painting a portrait of urban anonymity where ordinary work masks hidden currents of intrigue.

Within the same walls, Aldo—another janitor—finds his stability upended after a confrontation with Mr. Long, a wealthy and enigmatic figure whose reputation looms over the neighborhood. Daryll feels compelled to intervene, not only out of camaraderie but also because the incident hints at deeper, unspoken tensions that ripple through the building’s community. Their interactions expose a delicate web of loyalty, prejudice, and the fragile balance of reputation in a place where every glance can carry a hidden story.

As Daryll and Toni cross paths more frequently, a tentative connection forms, built on mutual curiosity and the quiet thrill of shared secrets. Their clandestine meetings unfold against a backdrop of whispered uncertainty, hinting at forces that seek to pull them apart. Meanwhile, Toni’s fiancé, Joseph, watches the growing bond with an uneasy gaze, his own motives tangled with expectations and the pressures of a life lived in the public eye.

The film breathes a moody, claustrophobic atmosphere, where the ordinary and the uncanny coexist in tight quarters. It explores how personal histories collide with the unyielding pulse of the city, inviting the audience to wonder which truths will surface when loyalty, ambition, and hidden pasts converge.
