In the shadows of the Carrington family's pristine estate, a silent observer watches from above—haunted by betrayal, fueled by vengeance, and armed with secrets buried beneath layers of architectural design and familial facades. The Watcher Upstairs is a slow-burning psychological thriller that peels back the layers of an affluent household, revealing cracks in the foundation not just of their home, but of their trust, loyalty, and identity.

Told through the eyes of a once-celebrated architect wronged by the very people they helped rise, the story weaves between past and present, offering a chilling study in obsession, justice, and the blurred line between victim and villain. Surveillance becomes intimacy. Secrets become weapons. And as roles reverse and masks fall, no one remains untouched by the consequences.
