Psycho Series
Jesse Ridgway is a young adult in his early 20s who is obsessed with gaming and live streaming, desiring to pursue it as a career. However, his abusive, cruel and destructive father Jeffrey Ridgway Sr. (Psycho Dad) forbids it and in doing so, he destroys any appliance or object related to gaming in order to prevent Jesse's passion and childhood from becoming a reality and for him to get a job as a fully grown man in the real world. The beginning of the Psycho Series is filmed by Jesse's irritating and annoying older brother Jeffrey Ridgway Jr. and the videos filmed accumulate millions of views on YouTube.

As tension rises between the relationship of Jesse and his father, Jesse starts a series of vlogs, expanding over a year telling the story of his life under his psychotic father's oppression. Jesse furthers his relationships with his uncle Larry Abraham, his girlfriend, his best friend and cameraman Zachary "Corn" Cornatzer, his mother Theresa Ridgway, his uncles Chris Ridgway, Uncle Chuck and George Stahlberger, his aunt Jackie Abraham, his cousin Tom Abraham and friends Georgie Stahlberger, Buzz Simkins and Mark Locuson, but struggles his relationship with his aunt and Theresa's friend Melissa Stahlberger.

As the series progresses, Jesse travels living in different areas, including his gaming tent Eagles Landing, Larry's RV the Wingless Eagle and his gaming room in the Morton Building, among others. He also progressively shows signs of insanity, at times sparking controversial arguments among his family and friends and also the viewers of his vlogs. Several arcs in the story include getting kicked out twice from the Ridgway Residence, hanging out with Uncle Larry, his girlfriend and others, having himself arrested, getting revenge on his brother and father, being responsible for getting his parents divorced, struggling to retrieve his $30.000 after his father locks them up in a safe, looking into finding a new house to live in and struggling to look out for a job he has to find.

When his actions further strain the relationships within his immediate family, Jesse reaches a breaking point and later suffers a mental breakdown. Sourcing his insanity from his father's psychopathic nature, Jesse, using a weapon given to him by Corn, immediately kills his father, finally retrieves his money from the safe (revealed to be $12.000 left due to the rest being spent by Jeff Sr.) and flees far away to Switzerland. There, Jesse finally finds freedom, but later attempts suicide by hanging himself for all the actions he had committed over the years, but decides not to do it. He then leaves YouTube forever and tries to find a new job while he hides himself in the mountains to get away from everything.

The Devil Inside
Seven months later, Jesse Ridgway, in another world called the Master Realm becomes sad and depressed after ending the Psycho Series. He gains the ability to snap his fingers, becoming different characters he created including Psycho Kid himself.

Jesse's depression caused him to snap into Isaac Kalder, an 18-year-old teenager with emotional problems. At first, Isaac seems to lost his memories and instead has Jesse’s memories but he later regained his own memories. He pretended to be Jesse and uploads BTS videos of the Psycho Series and released a documentary about Jesse's challenges and struggles making the Psycho Series. Isaac also makes changes to himself piercing his ears, dying his hair black, and getting "i'm a psychopath" tattooed on his back. For the past 5-6 months, Isaac began doing over the top pranks, drinking, kidnapping others, and doing drugs. When Jesse's family found out that Jesse's master realm self is trapped inside a mirror, they eventually get Isaac to snap back to his own world and get the real Jesse (presumably) back from Boogie2988, a fellow YouTuber/insane fan.

Jeffrey Ridgway Sr. blames the YouTube videos for everything that has happened to his son, and cancels their family vacation. Jesse is brought into conflict when his characters take over his mind, causing him to snap back into the mirror. The mastermind behind everything is revealed to be the Devil inside of Jesse whose goal is to destroy everything Jesse has created. The Jesse that came out of Boogie’s house was just a shell of the Devil.

Upon resurrecting Jesse's antagonistic characters from the dead, the Devil destroys seven of Jesse's main characters. Jesse Ridgway snaps into Psycho Kid, turning him into a two-dimensional image and defeats the Devil. The Devil, in the form of a necklace, attempts to convince Jesse to snap back into Isaac, but realizing how he never gave up on the Juggies, he throws the necklace away. Jesse takes on the Psycho Kid persona.

Meanwhile, Psycho Dad, who was among the dead souls resurrected by the Devil begins recalling his murder and vows vengeance.

The "True" Author of The Graphic Novel
In the Devil Inside storyline, it was revealed that Boogie2988 was actually the author of the Psycho Series graphic novel, as the script used for the book was actually his script he gave Jesse in [https://psychokid.fandom.com/wiki/OBSESSED_FAN_TRIES_TO_SLEEP_WITH_ME! OBSESSED FAN TRIES TO SLEEP WITH ME!]. When Boogie went to visit Jesse in New Jersey, starting at [https://psychokid.fandom.com/wiki/BOOGIE2988_IS_CAMPING_OUTSIDE_MCJUGGERNUGGETS_HOUSE! BOOGIE2988 IS CAMPING OUTSIDE MCJUGGERNUGGETS HOUSE!], he acted like it was just a "surprise visit". But, as time went on, Boogie revealed he was actually here for his copy of the graphic novel, which he had been impatiently waiting for months. After a long struggle between him and Jesse, Jeffrey Ridgway Jr. eventually gave Boogie a copy of the graphic novel, not realizing what the big deal was. Boogie immediately snatched it from Jeffrey's hand, but when he realized that he wasn't credited for writing the book, he demanded Jesse to explain about it himself. Jesse claimed that he actually wrote it himself, and tried to take the book from Boogie, who refused.

Then, Boogie retreats into the basement closet, known as the "Psycho Room" and proceeded to have a mental breakdown in BOOGIE2988/FRANCIS LOSES HIS MIND!, where he tells his viewers a small portion about what happened. Boogie then does his usual outro, and goes to sleep. The video cuts to Francis waking up, surprised to be at Jesse's house. He then looks at the graphic novel Boogie took into the closet, soon to realize that this is what Boogie had wrote two years prior before throwing the book in anger. Boogie tells Francis he doesn't need him there, which causes the two to argue with Francis telling Boogie that he had something in a paper bag for him. It was revealed to be Jeffrey Ridgway Sr.'s revolver, which Francis said was "for later". Boogie questions Francis' trustworthiness in which Francis says that he doesn't have to trust him and tells him to look in the corner, reacting [https://psychokid.fandom.com/wiki/DEMMA%27S_DEMISE! DEMMA'S DEMISE!], with Boogie in Psycho Kid's place, Francis in Damien's place, and his own version of Emma acting as Boogie's ex-wife. She then blames Francis for the divorce which causes Francis to freak out at both the fans and Boogie's "ex-wife". Boogie then tells the viewers that he can show them crazy then tears up the decoy resembling his wife, as Psycho Kid did to Demma in the Psycho Series. Boogie finally says that it doesn't help.

Later on, in Boogie2988 is a psychopath., Boogie, acting as Psycho Kid, walks out of the closet and attempts to kill both Jesse and Jeff Sr. in an alternative ending of Psycho Kid Kills Father. Just as Boogie was about to shoot Jeff Sr., Jesse leaped in front of him just as he pulled the trigger. But, luckily, Jesse had hidden a hardcover version of the graphic novel under his jacket which was just hard enough to stop the bullet going through to hit him. As Jeff, Jesse and Swift are telling Boogie to leave, Boogie went back down to the basement and got the rightful copy of the novel where Jesse credited Boogie out of the safe. He then left the house with Swift's car and drove to the airport. Jesse and Swift eventually found Swift's car at the airport before encountering Boogie walking nearby with Mountain Dew and Doritos in his arms, along with his copy of the graphic novel. Jesse and Swift then ran up to Boogie in which Jesse berates him for what he did before he takes the graphic novel away from Boogie. He also scolds Boogie for what he did to Domenic Maisto then says a famous line from Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory: "You lose! Good day, sir!", causing a saddened Boogie to walk away while apologizing profusely. Jesse asks if Boogie left Swift's car keys in the car in which Boogie says he did. Boogie then suddenly put down his Doritos and Mountain Dew, ashamed of the actions he had committed towards Jesse and his family. Jesse ignores Boogie and goes home with the graphic novel, where he has a talk with the Juggies privately in the Psycho Room. He reluctantly admits that Boogie actually wrote the book (although he alternated Boogie's original script slightly for the final print) and was ashamed that he didn't write it himself, which is why he gave himself full credit. However, unknown to Jesse, it was revealed that Boogie had actually instead ordered another copy of the graphic novel from Amazon at his home due to the other copy being taken away from him because of his actions.
