Peering

Meet Pia. Restless. Compulsive. Always moving. She calls it curiosity. A harmless habit. A way to pass the time. It isn't. It begins with late-night walks through quiet streets. Glimpses through open curtains. Fragments of other people's lives playing out behind glass. One house becomes another. Until one night, she sees him. And everything changes. Still reeling from the end of her seventeen-year marriage and the loss of the life she thought she knew, Pia finds herself drawn into a world that isn't hers. A world of secrets, violence, and a relationship far darker than it appears from the outside. At first, she watches. Then she worries. Then she interferes. But the closer Pia gets, the harder it becomes to see the line between protecting someone and needing them. Told through Pia's brutally honest, darkly funny perspective, Peering, is a chaotic and unsettling journey through loneliness, fixation, and the desperate search for control when everything familiar disappears.
