About the film: Conor, a 12-year-old boy, struggles with bullying at school and his mother’s illness at home. The stress leads to nightmares, and then one day a nightmare arrives while he’s awake in the form of an enormous monster. It visits him repeatedly to tell him fantastic stories, and it warns him that the time is coming when Conor will have to tell the monster a story. He fears telling the story more than he fears the monster.
