Property might be theft. But the housing market is murder.

My name is Al. I live in wealthy people’s second homes while their real owners are away.

I don’t rob them, I don’t damage anything? I’m more an unofficial house-sitter than an actual criminal.

Life is good.

Or it was – until last night, when my friends and I broke into the wrong place, on the wrong day, and someone wound up dead.

And now ? now we’re in a great deal of trouble.
