Urban Wolf is an acclaimed international suspense series. Earlier this year, the thriller got picked up by Crackle, Sony Pictures Entertainment’s online video network. With the backing of Sony, the 15 episode series is making splash online. Here’s a synopsis of the series:

Filmed entirely on location in Paris, France, “Urban Wolf” stars Vincent Sze (a noted actor from the Hong Kong cinema scene) as Justin Case, a former MIT student who travels to Paris for a job interview. Walking the streets of the city, he begins to notice the numerous surveillance cameras that seemingly follow his every movement. What begins as a simple case of paranoia quickly escalates to full-blown fear as the sinister forces behind the cameras and technology emerge to relentlessly pursue the innocent American, testing his survival instincts.

In episode 1 entitled “Laying Plans”, a man gets off a plane and enters the bathroom. Although the room is empty, he is not alone. What is going on? (This might freak you out from going to airports.)
