Premise[]
Miles, a 14-year-old kid who is home alone while his parents are out of town for work. He soon finds himself in trouble. Will he make it through the night?
Plot[]
A 14-year-old boy Miles is home alone one night during mid summer after his parents had left that weekend for a work trip. Miles wakes up at around 8 PM after a nap, having some homework left to do for school. Feeling hungry, he plans to eat something before getting to work, as he wouldn't be able to focus otherwise.
Miles' mother informs him that she has cooked some lasagna that's been left in the fridge. He places the lasagna in the oven and proceeds to watch TV while eating. During this, he receives a text from his friend Mason who informs him he cannot attend their arrangement due to a scheduling conflict, leaving Miles home alone for the night. Miles starts work on his chemistry assignment after eating and then heads to bed hours later.
At 1:16 a.m., about half an hour after falling asleep, Miles wakes up feeling thirsty. He heads downstairs to fetch a bottle of water from the fridge but receives a concerning text message from his mother, which contains a picture of a man outside the front of their house; the picture had been forwarded from Miles' concerned neighbor Paula, who had seen the suspicious man on their property for some time. Miles' mother instructs him to lock all the doors and wait until the police arrive.
While hiding underneath his bed, he hears glass breaking from the master bedroom. Soon after, Paula begins ringing the doorbell repeatedly. Miles is initially reluctant to exit his room until he is informed of this, but as he reaches the stairs, he sees his parents' bedroom door open and a person's shadow waiting ominously for him. He rushes back to his room and takes shelter until the police arrive. With the intruder having escaped from the house, Miles successfully meets Paula outside his front door.
