The Double Steps Plot Summary

What happens in The Double Steps from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 15 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 5-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

Downtrodden Simon James has spent seven long years grinding away in a gray, monotonous office where he is barely noticed by anyone—especially his aloof boss, the Colonel, and his indifferent colleagues. From the quiet sanctuary of his apartment, he keeps a wary, almost reverent watch on his beautiful neighbor, Hannah, who lives just across the hall. He spies on her through the wall, sneaking glimpses of her as she discards drawings and art she no longer wants, treasures that he secretly admires as if they were tiny glimpses into a more imaginative life he yearns to inhabit.
