Abby is a delivery worker in New York, unseen and adrift, trapped in a dead-end life with overdue rent and indifferent roommates. To escape, she becomes “Chloe,” a composed, affluent woman who slips into luxury apartment showings and seduces realtors. The encounters are less about desire than the spaces themselves. For a fleeting moment, marble counters and glass towers let her believe she belongs in a world that will never be hers.
When Abby’s double life collides, she meets Nick, a realtor she had unknowingly gone on a Tinder date with the night before. At first, their confrontation is tense—he sees through her act and resents being used. But in the stillness of a sunlit penthouse, something shifts. Abby confesses her secret ritual, admitting that sex in empty apartments makes her feel real in a life that otherwise disappears. Nick, in turn, reveals his own aching need to love and be loved, to fill empty rooms with permanence and meaning.
What begins as a game of seduction transforms into a raw and unexpected intimacy. Lying side by side on polished wood floors, not touching but almost, Abby and Nick glimpse a fragile connection neither expected to find.
Showing is a psychological drama that drifts toward bruised romance, a portrait of loneliness, class, and longing in a city built on glass towers. Intimate, unsettling, and tender, it asks what it means to belong to a place, to another person and to yourself.
