When defense attorney Jennifer Belcher-Garrick (Linda Belcher) comes into possession of a mysterious wooden puppet taken from a murder suspect's belongings, her daughter Louise Garrick begins to form a disturbingly close bond with it. The puppet—Pinocchio, voiced by and modeled after Ami Onuki—soon becomes a malevolent presence in their household. As strange accidents begin to occur, Jennifer suspects her daughter may be responsible. But Louise insists that it’s not her—it’s Pinocchio who’s behind the violence. The line between delusion and reality begins to blur as Jennifer uncovers dark secrets behind the puppet’s origin. The film climaxes with a tense confrontation in which Jennifer must face the horrifying truth: Pinocchio may not be just a puppet… and Louise’s soul may be slipping further into his control.
