Beneath the Bed

A tech hides under a bed, sees a murder, and deceives the killer until police arrive.

During a routine computer repair, Nolan slips beneath the bed and watches Derek strangle his wife. Pinned in place, he invents digital falsehoods that mislead the murderer and buy critical minutes. Derek's girlfriend Claire is pressured into silence, making her a volatile factor. Meanwhile, Nolan's neighbor coordinates with authorities outside, and a rescue dog tracks scent through the building. The manhunt intensifies into a hostage standoff as the net closes around the killer.
