Sidney Johnson, an acclaimed poet, accidentally interrupts his twelve-year-old son, Isaiah,
masturbating. He apologizes and reassures him that the act is natural. Sidney does not realize that Isaiah had been masturbating to a photograph of him.
Fourteen years later, during Isaiah's wedding reception, Isaiah's mother Joan discovers Isaiah about to perform
fellatio on a distressed Sidney. While Joan is in the shower, Sidney leaves a typed memoir under her pillow,
Coc00n Man: Confessions by Sidney Johnson, which chronicles the years of
sexual abuse he has endured at the hands of his son. Isaiah discovers the memoir before Joan can see it and confronts Sidney, telling him he will burn the memoir and warning him not to make more.
While Sidney is taking a bath, Isaiah breaks down the locked door and assaults Sidney. Joan hears the struggle, but raises the volume of the television. Isaiah climbs off his father adjusting his pants. The next day, Sidney removes a secret copy of
Coc00n Man from underneath the floorboards and attempts to leave the house with it, leading to another confrontation with Isaiah. Sidney runs into the street where he is struck and killed by a van.
After Sidney's funeral, Joan asks Isaiah why Sidney cried for hours in the bathroom after Isaiah's prom night ten years prior. Their argument escalates into a physical fight, and Joan kills Isaiah with a
fire iron. She throws
Coc00n Man into the fire.
