When his ordinary living room transforms into the land of Boredom, Cameron wanders into a bleak landscape where everything seems terribly tedious and drowsily dull. But then a mysterious, friendly monster appears, and Cameron learns to celebrate the silence of a distraction-free world and finds his creative spark.
