Detailed Synopsis

In New York City, Bobby Reynolds is meeting with Lucille Jiminez on what jobs are available. She tells him that due to the terms of his parole he will have to inform her where he is going to live. He tells her that he is going to live at his mother's, Helen Davis, old apartment and she tells him that he needs to check in every Tuesday. Bobby walks into the apartment building and goes to the manager's office. He tells Max that he is Helen's son and Max gives him the keys to apartment 519. He rides the elevator and when the door opens to another floor, an Old Russian Woman just stands outside the door muttering to herself. He gets off on the fifth floor and as he is walking to the apartment he sees Carly playing on a musical toy. He goes inside the apartment and looks at a photo of Helen and the tapes she made of him when he was young. He goes to the bedroom and finds blood on the pillow. He hears a scraping noise and sees a hole in the wall. He then hears a couple arguing in the next door apartment and when he goes to the window he sees the shadow of a person looking towards his apartment. He goes to the Patrician Grill and speaks with Alyssa. He invites her to get coffee, but she tells him that she has to do school work. During the night Bobby has a dream where he hears a scraping noise and moaning coming from the other apartment and Helen asking him for help. The next day he goes to Houston Auto Repair and gets a job from Hector Rodriguez. Bobby goes back to the manager's office and an Old Man playing chess by himself tells him that it is supper time and Max won't answer the door. He gets on the elevator and Walter gets on the elevator with him. They get off the elevator and Walter walks to the apartment next door. He hears the scraping noise again and the piano plays a key. When Bobby opens the keyboard cover he finds bloody fingerprints on the keys. He opens the lid of the piano and finds a tissue full of fingernails. Bobby asks Max who else has been in the apartment, but Max tells him that Bobby has the only key. Max tells Bobby that Helen used to lock herself in her apartment for weeks. During the evening, Bobby hears Walter yelling again. Bobby knocks on the wall and asks if everything is alright and the arguing stops. At work, Bobby thinks he sees a woman crying, but she disappears. Bobby walks to where Alyssa is and gives her a cup of coffee. She tells him that she is upset that he stopped writing to her when he was in prison. He comes home and finds Joseph standing outside his apartment. Joseph asks him if the noises are coming from Bobby
