Plot summary
In 1969 in Madison, Wisconsin, a man shoots several of his neighbors, asking as he goes whether anyone said a name. In the present day, three students, Elliot, his girlfriend Sasha and their friend John, rent a house near their college. In a basement dresser Elliot finds coins, and in a nightstand drawer, under a lining covered with a warning, the name the Bye Bye Man. Their friend Kim, who claims to be psychically sensitive, agrees to a séance; the name is spoken, and the lights go out. Sasha starts coughing and looking pale, a figure grows in the corner of the bedroom, and scratching comes from downstairs.
