For years, Abe Portman (Terence Stamp) has told stories to his grandson Jake (Asa Butterfield) about his childhood battling monsters and spending World War II living at "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children" at Cairnholm, Wales. The home's children and their headmistress, Miss Peregrine (Eva Green), possess paranormal abilities and are known as "Peculiars". Jake goes to Abe’s house responding to a phone call, only to find him dying with his eyes removed. Abe tells Jake to go to "the loop of September 3, 1943" and that the "falcon" will tell everything.
