As Reggie’s mother adjusts the hot and cold water for Reggie’s daily bath, Reggie asks where the hot water comes from. After her bath, Reggie’s mother takes her into their spooky basement to meet their hot water heater. At first Reggie imagines all sorts of scary images of it, but over time, she develops a special relationship with this new friend until one day when the hot water coming out of the spigot is no longer hot.
