Cody has a secret: he can make his dreams come true. Whatever he dreams about appears in the real world. When he wakes, everything vanishes, but the injuries left behind are permanent.
He's afraid of nightmares, because the monsters he created ate his former foster mother and his current foster father.
To keep his nightmares at bay, he never looks at anything frightening. Every night, he falls asleep watching the butterflies he loves.
But then, one day, serial killers, demons, monsters, and supervillains suddenly appear in his life...
And he starts having nightmares again.
