Ian Barker is having the worst twelfth birthday ever. He is stuck celebrating with his sister and their two incredibly annoying cousins who break everything they touch. His new birthday presents are completely ruined, and his patience is running out. Then, Ian's dad gives him a very unique gift: a vintage ventriloquist dummy named Slappy. At first, it seems like a cool addition to his room, but things quickly take a dark turn. When Slappy is around, no one is safe from his wicked tricks. You will feel the spine-tingling suspense as Ian realizes that his new dummy has a mind of its own. Instead of Ian controlling the puppet, Slappy is the one pulling the strings. Prepare for a wild, scary ride as Ian tries to outsmart the evil wooden dummy and save his family from a birthday celebration they will never forget.
