## Summary

A father puts his son down to bed in their new house. His son, however, doesn't seem to want to sleep.

## Plot

The film opens on an exterior shot of a house with a "for sale" sign in front of it, with a sticker over the sign reading "sold". Paul is sitting in bed with his wife when their son, Roman, calls for him from down the hall. Roman says that he's scared and doesn't like his new room, and Paul assures him that he'll get used to it, and to go to sleep because he has school in the morning. After a few moments of silence, Roman asks if he can sleep with his parents tonight. Paul refuses and tells Roman that he needs to be brave, as it's the only way he'll get used to the new house, and to give it a couple nights. He tries to go back to reading, but Roman calls again, saying he wants his stuffed animal Max. Paul says that Max is probably still packed up, and he promises that he'll look for it in the morning.

There is a brief silence, and Paul goes back to his book when he sees something run past his door and hears a crash in the hallway. He gets out of bed and goes to see what happened, and finds that a lamp has been knocked over. He goes into Roman's room, asking him what he told him about getting out of bed, only to find that his son has been fast asleep this entire time. He then hears his son's voice from the other room saying that he wants to sleep with his parents tonight. Paul goes back down the hall, not noticing that the ceiling vent is wide open. He goes into his bedroom and finds the lights are off, and flips the switch only for nothing to happen. He calls his wife's name, and he sees a small creature eating Sarah in the bed. The creature looks over at him, and greets him in his son's voice. Paul screams in horror as the creature jumps on him and starts to eat him.

In Roman's room, Roman is woken up by the sound of Paul's voice calling for him, asking him if he wants to sleep in his parents' bed tonight.
