Juan is an 8 year old boy living in Madrid who loves to tell stories using his vivid imagination. At night, his sleep is disrupted every night by increasingly horrific dreams. His mother is concerned that his storytelling is providing the fuel for these dreams and doesn't believe what Juan tells her; that a faceless demon is appearing to him every night. As his health declines, Juan's mother starts to realise that Juan is not being haunted by an imagined threat brought on by nightmares, as she first thought but an all too real danger that could put an end to Juan's life.
11 year old Mia lives in London. One day, she tells a gruesome story to her classmates about a blank faced monster called Hollowface, who longs to live in the real world and so steals the faces of children. This unnerves her classmates and, ultimately, Mia, who begins having graphic nightmares. Her father, John, thinks that an intruder is breaking into Mia's room in the early hours and so he installs surveillance cameras. But as Mia's dreams become more graphic and the footage shows that there is no intruder, John discovers an event from the past that links the events happening to his family and the once made up 'Hollowface'.
