In the 1980s, brilliant engineer William Afton and idealistic designer Henry Emily open a family restaurant filled with lifelike animatronics, a dream meant to bring joy to children. But behind the cheerful mascots and booming business, Afton begins to unravel. Haunted by his failing marriage and his obsession with control, he grows distant from Henry and his own family, consumed by a darkness that his friend refuses to see.
As the years pass, unexplained disappearances begin to surround the restaurant. While Henry struggles to protect his daughter and cling to their vision, Afton’s descent into obsession leads him to commit unspeakable acts, turning the place built for laughter into a house of nightmares. AFTON is a chilling portrait of a friendship destroyed and a man’s tragic transformation into a monster, ending with the first of the murders that would haunt an entire town.
