From young, Character A (currently no name has been decided), was the under the illusion that the Sockmonster had left an odd sock on the top of the stairs, which his mother tripped over, fell and died. In reality, the Sockmonster was a fable created by character A's father to hide and reconstuct his memeory as to how she really died, which was by Character A leaving his odd sock accidentally.
The short film follows Character A on his mission to catch this Sockmonster. We are situated not only with Character A's of obsession with finding the Sockmonster, but also his compassion reunite lonesome socks with their missing partner - He believes this will not only benefit the owner, but everyone because it will prevent others from plunging to their own death. Character A's legacy leads him to great deal of legal trouble and his back story gains him little sympathy from the police, but they let him go under strict orders to find the truth about this so called Sockmonster. His father also plays a key role in telling the story. He explains to the documentary crew, that his fabrication of the Sockmonster got 'out-of-hand' as Character A got older. His father thought that he had forgotten about the Sockmonster as Character A grew up, when truthfully Character A had created a delusion based upon hallucinations he suffered as an older child and teenagers -symptoms of Schizophrenia
