A loser dad, desperate to maintain ties with his son, tries to get a life by getting a job as a nightwatchman at a museum. He figures it will be an easy slacker job, but soon finds out that all the exhibits come to life at night. Initially terrified, he soon makes friends with one of the exhibits, who shows him the ropes. He decides to learn what he can about the past, to better deal with his nightly torments. Things get worse when a bunch of robbers decide to steal a priceless Egyptian relic.
