The true story of America's iconic 16th president is told by weaving together both scripted dramatizations of important moments in his life and commentary by authoritative historians and public figures.

Retired cop James Lasombra is asked by a friend to investigate the disappearance of her daughter, who seemingly packed in the night and left an ominous message on the bathroom mirror - "The Empty Man Made Me Do It." As he investigates this mysterious figure further, James begins to see and hear strange things, and is forced to come to terms with his past and what it means for his future.
