Introduction of The Secret Headquarters

In the movie The Secret Headquarters, our protagonist is an aspiring artist who lives in an apartment with a friend. He takes up a casual job as the night desk attendant of the hotel where he lives. It’s not much of a living but at least it’s a job and it pays for his apartment and art supplies. One day, he meets a stranger who claims to own the hotel and offers him more money for his work if he will agree to spy on one of their guests. Our hero has recently fallen into some financial difficulties so he agrees to do it on the condition that they pay him in advance.
