Lucas and his neglectful older brother Tom live alone in a rundown home after the death of their mother, who took them away from their abusive father. They play a "game" called Slapface, which involves them slapping each other violently in the face, and Lucas's only "friends" are Donna, Rose and Moriah, a trio of female bullies.
One day, Lucas is forced by the trio to explore an abandoned house by the trio for "stalking" Moriah, who he has a crush on. He encounters a monster named Virago, and he befriends it over the course of several days.
