The year is 1957; Furby, a sensitive eight year old boy, is struggling with his parents recent separation. He and his mother move into an ominous looking old house where he is admonished by a coal deliveryman to "watch out for the monster in the coalbin". This sparks Furby's imagination and his subconscious fears of an unknown future surface. We watch Furby as he wrestles with these fears until finally confronting and transcending his "Monster".
