The video begins with the Weeknd and a young woman entering an apartment, before the woman gives him a seductive strip tease, which he views through a window. From afar, the woman is being watched by another person from a telescope, who is revealed to be a masked version of the Weeknd.[4] The ending of the video has the masked version of the Weeknd run to the apartment, after seeing the other version of himself with the woman, only to find no one inside the apartment.[5]
