Incomplete
Evan is on house arrest in a haunted house. Or so he thinks? Evan’s sister went out of her way to rent him a house off the DOC database, in a boughie-ass suburban neighborhood so he could serve the remainder of his sentence in the Jail Diversion Program on house arrest. When his breathalyzer Machine starts to act strange, the Polaroid pictures it routinely prints suggest that Evan is not alone. A faceless figure is also occupying this suburban home. Evan must make a decision to either stay and face his fears or end up serving his remaining time in Jail.
