The episode starts with Martin's friend, Gina, calling him, complaining that strange noises can be heard in her apartment. Martin immediately offers to come over and investigate the issue, hoping to score some points with Gina. Once he arrives, he hears the strange noises and assumes it must be a supernatural presence. Gina, on the other hand, thinks someone is trying to break into her apartment.

Despite the setbacks, Martin and Gina continue their search, becoming increasingly more afraid and paranoid.

As they continue their investigation, Martin begins to realize that something strange is going on in Gina's building.
