View Point
Vivid presents an apartment complex with three stories. Chasey's "Angel", a new tenant who catches the eye of Vince. Kristy and Bobby just moved in, and Julie over in 3B can't get her husband away from the TV. This is the world of "View Point", where everyone's watching someone, and no one knows quite who. In other words, if the blinds are open a peek, you can bet someone's peeking.
