1) Amanda is experiencing strange occurrences like finding masked men watching her house and receiving mysterious phone calls with no one on the line, leaving her feeling stressed and paranoid.
2) On her way to work one morning, Amanda sees the same masked man again and thinks she sees him a third time, greatly increasing her fear and panic.
3) Amanda arrives home driving recklessly due to her stressed state and mistakenly yells at the occupant of a car she believes is following her, though the car is empty. Overcome by paranoia, she barricades herself in her home.

INT.LOCATION#1 AMANDAS AND SIMONS HOUSE
The sun is rising just above the house opposite as Amanda
and Simon’s day begins. With both of them rising from their
bed and getting ready for a long day and week at work, the
setting is very quiet and peaceful. They both meet
downstairs as Simon is having breakfast whilst Amanda is
trying to find her house and car keys.
SIMON
Morning darling
AMANDA (STRESSED)
Good morning
Both Kiss
SIMON
What’s wrong?
AMANDA
I can’t find my bloody keys
SIMON
I’m sure they’re here somewhere, we’ll
look together
Simon begins looking through the cupboards and fruit bowl
but can’t seem to find them
AMANDA
I’ll just have to look when I get home.
SIMON
Well I doubt anyone’s taken them, you were
probably the last one to have them.
AMANDA
Right, I’ll see you in a few days then,
hope it all goes well

FADE OUT:
EXT. AMANDA ARRIEVS AT WORK AND IS GETTING ALL OF HER
THINGS OUT OF THE CAR READY TO GO INTO WORK.
With the temperature below 0 degrees, Amanda is having
to wrap up before getting out of the car, getting her
bearings. As she is getting out of her car her phone rings,
she’s stressed enough as it is, but struggles to find her
phone among the other things in her bag.
Phone rings
AMANDA (STRESSED)
Hello? Hello?
Phone cuts off
AMANDA (ANGRY)
For god sake.

long day at work.

Hello? Hello? Is anyone there?
Phone cuts off

Amanda walks away confused as this was the second time
today that the phone had been ringing with no one on the
other end. As she is walking away the phone rings again.
Phone rings
AMANDA (STRESSED AND ANGRY)
What do you want? Can you just leave me
alone?
SIMON
It’s me, Simon.
AMANDA
Oh sorry, I didn’t realise.
SIMON
Why, what’s happened?
AMANDA
Nothing, don’t worry about it.
INT. LOCATION#4 AMANDA IS WAKING UP THE NEXT MORNING AND IS
DOING HER USUAL MORNING ROUTINE.
Amanda is getting ready for work, getting dressed, making
her room up and having her breakfast. As she looks out of
the bedroom window she sees a figure standing by her car, a
man dressed in black with a white mask.
AMANDA (SHOCKED)
Who is that?
Amanda then runs downstairs, opens the front door and
rushes towards her car to confront the person, but they’ve
disappeared.
EXT. LOCATION#5 AMANDA IS GETTING OUT OF HER CAR AND
GETTING HER THINGS READY TO WALK INTO WORK.
As she is getting her things out of the boot of the car and
she closes the boot she sees in the reflection of the
window the same masked man, however as she turns around the
man’s again disappeared.

AMANDA (HEAVY BREATHING)
Oh my god, not again
EXT. LOCTION#6 AMANDA IS DRIVING HOME, VERY RECKLOUSLY.
As she is driving home, cars are beeping due to her poor
driving as she is very stressed. As she pulls up at her
house she looks in her mirror and can see a car pull up a
few cars behind her. At this point Amanda is very paranoid
and thinks the car behind is following her. At this point
Amanda’s stressed state is not allowing her to think
properly, therefore she gets out of her car and approaches
the car she saw pull up behind her.
AMANDA (ANGRY/SHOUTING)
Smacking the window of the car door, what
do you want with me? Leave me alone
However she doesn’t realise that there’s no one actually in
the car as she is shouting at no one. As Amanda begins to
see that no one is in the car she looks around and can see
all her neighbors looking at her. When she realizes she
rushes into her house and runs around the house closing all
the curtains, with that being the last we see of her until
the morning.
INT. LOCATION#7 IN HER BED AND JUST WOKEN UP, SHE IS
GETTING READ FOR ANOTHER DAY AT WORK.
Amanda is currently getting ready for work and begins
opening all the curtains, each curtain is with the
anticipation of seeing someone across the road. As she
reaches the final downstairs curtain in the kitchen she
opens it and up close to the screen is the masked man. He
then makes a movement towards the door, in which Amanda
suddenly grabs a knife and stands behind the door. The door
opens then Amanda launches herself at the person opening
the door, little did she know it was her husband.
