The View
Avery Cristy has everything a young woman could want: a fast-paced and high-paying career, a trendy loft apartment overlooking a vibrant downtown, and an entourage always ready to sample the surrounding night clubs and men who frequent them. Life is perfect, and we first meet Avery as she enjoys a public bathroom hookup with a stranger before heading to an afterparty. It's just another weeknight until everything comes to a standstill when she has an accident that leaves her wheelchair-bound. Avery finds herself with nothing to do but follow other people's lives through her window. Tracking the habits of a barely-married couple, she bets with her assistant that today's the day he cheats and is vindicated when a new woman knocks at his door only minutes after his wife has left. In time, Avery realizes that someone has been watching her too and puts on a tantalizing show of her own.
