Output (English): 10yearold Cameron Lansing Scott Curtis is an introverted, solitary boy with psychic abilities who lives with his father, Owen Lansing Tab Hunter, a research scientist. Owen has subjected Cameron to intense psychological testing from a young age in an effort to unbury the hidden powers of the human mind. During a series of mysterious and bizarre circumstances in their rural house one night, Owen is decapitated by a machete, yet the authorities can find no evidence of foul play and rule it out as an accidental death believing he simply fell on it. Cameron goes to live with his mother Dory Lansing Kim Lankford and her obnoxious actor boyfriend Bob Froelich Gary Hudson in Los Angeles. Both Dory and Bob are unaware of Camerons paranormal abilities. Sergeant Sam Taliaferro Cotter Smith of the Homicide Division of the LAPD has sleeping trouble and a recurring nightmare which is affecting his work. Taliaferros partner, Detective Pete Groom Leigh McCloskey complains about Taliaferros frequent bouts of absentmindedness in the line of duty caused his lack of sleep, and so Taliaferro is ordered to go see a psychiatrist who works with the department, Dr. Nora Haley Mel Harris. When Bob Froelich is horrifically murdered in Camerons room, having been thrown out of the secondfloor window with his eyes burnt out of the sockets, Sam Taliaferro, Pete Groom and Nora Haley are put on the case. As they investigate the perplexing case, Taliaferro befriends Cameron and realizes that deaths are occurring always around the boy, and that his nightmares seem to be linked to the boy. Under her counselling sessions Nora Haley also realizes that the boy has paranormal abilities, even being able to foresee future events. It also becomes apparent to Taliaferro that whatever Cameron concentrates on hard enough or focuses on is manifesting itself into reality. Cameron plays an imaginative game with a figurine his father gave to him he calls the Deceptor, actually an ancient figure of a Mayan demonic entity said to be terrible beyond description in Owen Lansings texts. Camerons imagination makes the creature real and it takes up residence in Camerons bedroom closet. Soon, numerous inexplicable and gruesome deaths are occurring around the closet in Camerons room, and people who have already died seem to be mysteriously reappearing in an undead state. Bob Froelich is horrifyingly resurrected in Camerons closet and murders Detective Pete Groom when he looks inside the closet. Taliaferro and Haley seek out Owen Lansings assistant, Professor Ben Majors Chuck McCann at his home in the woods, where they learn the truth about Cameron. Taliaferro is stalked through the woods by Pete Grooms ghost, who warns him that the evil is out of the closet now. The demons soon wish to destroy Cameron, thus severing their link to limbo and sealing them within reality and in our world. Majors kidnaps Cameron and takes him back to Camerons house where Majors is then murdered by the demon, his blood boiling in his veins. Only Sam Taliaferro and Nora Haley are able to protect Cameron. Cameron goes back to his room to face the demon in the closet once and for all and destroy it before Cameron loses his powers to it.
