Plot[[edit] | [edit source]]
George, a young little boy who lives in the Rowbarton Estate, is afraid of everything — and it's taking a toll on his parents, Alex and Claire. The Eleventh Doctor hears George's cry for help, and he and Amy and Rory investigates, but strange things begin to happen; clothes begin to come to life, people get sucked into piles of bin bags, and Amy and Roy get trapped inside an abandoned house. George, who is not an ordinary boy, traps whatever frightens him in his wardrobe, where the monsters live. His parents don't remember his pregnancy and birth, and reality begins to warp. The answers? They are in the cupboard.
