After Jessie and Mark lose their son in a tragic accident, their marriage is in danger of falling apart due to deep grief. They decide to adopt 8-year-old Cody, a sensitive, shy boy whom the two quickly take to their hearts. But Cody is anxious, especially afraid of going to sleep, and on their very first night they experience strange things: while he is sleeping, mysterious dream figures appear in their living room. It soon becomes clear that the boy has a special gift - what he dreams becomes reality: miraculous visions come to life through Cody, but the demons of his darkest nightmares also make their way into reality and threaten the lives of the young family...and they don't like it when you get in their way.
