Synopsis

In Sight Unseen, the narrative centers around Colin Ferragut, a journalist who begins to feel an uncanny sensation of being watched while enjoying a quiet afternoon in a London park. As he sits on a bench, he notices two seemingly ordinary men dressed in business attire and bowler hats, who appear to be observing him from a distance. This unsettling feeling intensifies as he tries to dismiss it, but the sense of being followed lingers in his mind.
