A young man tries to deal with the childhood terror that has never stopped haunting him.
As young children Laura Porter and her brother Henry witness their parents' brutal murder by a hooded man, whom they believe to be the Bogeyman. As an adult, Henry has attended group therapy, improving such that he is instead currently looking for work. Laura joins this group as he leaves, meeting the other members: Nyctophobia Mark, Germaphobia Paul, Self-harm Alison, Agoraphobia and commitment-averse Darren, and Nicky, a bulimic girl who fears extreme weight gain.
The film begins with Dr. Mitchell Allen's (Tobin Bell) daughter, Audrey (Nikki Sanderson). Audrey proceeds to take a shower and while doing so, sees a hand with a black glove. Scared, Audrey gets out and goes to her room to sleep. Her dog, however, is up and wants to play ball. To get him away she throw the ball in the closet; after a while, she gets worried her dog hasn't come back yet. She walks to the closet and finds blood lining it. She backs away and, with a scream, gets pulled under her bed.
