For fifteen years, everybody told me I was making it up. Everyone said it
was just a story. There's no such thing as the Boogeyman. But I was right.
On the surface, Tim Jensen seems to be a normal person, with a steady job and a good relationship with his girlfriend Jessica. However, a terrifying event that he witnessed as a child has left him traumatized, where his father was killed by the boogeyman that lived in his closet. Since then, he has taken precautions to ensure that the boogeyman cannot get to him, such as sleeping on a mattress on the floor, and removing all closets from his home, keeping all his clothes in a dresser drawer.
After a Thanksgiving trip with Jessica to her parent's house, Tim learns that his mother, Mary has died. He is forced to return to his childhood home; a Victorian house in the country. After dealing with the funeral, he visits the psychiatric ward where he lived after the death of his father. His former counselor advises him to spend a night at the house to finally overcome his fear. Tim reluctantly returns to the house to confront his demons.
However, despite enjoying a reunion with Kate, his childhood friend, he becomes convinced that he is being watched by the same entity that has terrorized him his entire life. This entity....this boogeyman thrives on human fears and it would seem that Timis feeding it. Can he fight his fear and defeat this entity??? Or is it simply something he has imagined???
