On a normal day as any other, a man wakes up to be surprised by two formal-looking strangers who calmly explain that they have been assigned to observe him.
They don't know anything about the reasons or who sent them. All they know is that they have to observe the man day in and day out. He comes to realize that it is no use complaining and shouting. The two strangers won't leave. So he tries to ignore them for the time being. But this is not so easy because they follow him everywhere and write down every tiny word or gesture of his in their little notebooks.
Surprisingly, his attorney says that there is nothing he can do legally about the observers. He should learn to live with it. After all they do not restrain him physically. They are only watching.
He calls in sick and locks himself into his apartment. All he can think of is his fiancee Lisa. He does not want her to know that he is under observation all day long like a criminal. When she calls, planning to visit him, he yells at her. When Lisa hangs up, his heart is broken. He knows that he has got to do something.
