The story of ‘The Wrong House Sitter’ begins with Deb, a high-ranking successful editor of a publishing house who sends one of the people working under her, Dan, to an assignment which takes him away from the town and from the dream home he has recently purchased for himself. Before Dan goes off on his assignment, he appoints Kristin, a girl he has only recently met, as the house sitter. While Dan believes his problems have just ended, in reality, they have actually just begun. Kristin soon starts acting like his girlfriend and it seems like she has no plan of leaving his house anytime soon.
