The fact that roving reporter LB Jeffries is out of action with a broken leg, and trapped in his tiny apartment, may not sound like a recipe for excitement - but the things he sees out of his flat's back window are cause for grave concern. Along with the usual stuff of everyday lives - people arguing, sunbathing, making-up - LB thinks he's seen a murder. When he joins forces with his girlfriend Lisa, who's keen to show LB her fearless side, the two discover to their horror that they may now be in danger, too.
