A young boy, Ryan, runs away from home, stealing his father's cherished grandfather clock. He hides in the crawlspace beneath the house, tormenting his father with the loss of his prized possession. Tragedy strikes when Ryan's younger brother, Bobby dies. Ryan steals Bobby's body from the graveyard and keeps it with him in the crawlspace, becoming increasingly alienated from the world above. Driven by guilt and a warped sense of love, Ryan attempts to escape with Bobby, but the consequences of his actions lead to an unexpected and chilling climax.
