A psychological horror film that blurs the line between childhood trauma and supernatural threat, anchored in a protagonist's struggle to distinguish memory from reality.

Every culture has one – the horrible monster fueling young children's nightmares. But for Tim, the Boogeyman still lives in his memories as a creature that devoured his father 16 years ago. Is the Boogeyman real, or did Tim make it up to explain why his father abandoned his family?
