Barry Henderson and his wife purchased a home in Bricktown Gates; a twenty-three house gated community located on the edge of BRICKTOWN, Oklahoma City's flagship entertainment district. Barry is a stay-at-home writer with a studio on the second floor of his home. A picture window next to his desk provides a panoramic view of the entertainment district across the street as-well-as a bird's eye view of virtually everything that happens inside the private neighborhood. After three years of casually watching his neighbors with a writer's curiosity, he develops a nickname for almost all thirty-three residents based on their looks, their activities, and their personalities. When a series of murders occur inside Bricktown Gates, life in the close-knit community begins to unravel. Fear spreads like a suffocating smoke. All community activities cease. Neighbors become suspicious of neighbors. People isolate themselves behind locked doors. The police are baffled. His casual neighbor observations quickly become a fulltime obsession. Who could be the next victim? Who could be the real killer?
