An older married couple – Harvey and Janet – on a Saturday morning as Harvey recounts a horrific nightmare in which he learned from a phone call that one of their daughters had been killed.

A doll, a clown, and a sinister fairy—these are the characters in the play that Dul—a young woman trapped in the role of a child—and her parents perform every week in an abandoned theater. The auditorium is empty; only Dul’s dolls wait expectantly. But today, the play takes an unexpected turn: Mother has decided to burn Dul alive. Dul is unable to react until her dolls speak to her for the first time, helping her save herself. Yet matters do not end there; with her dolls' help, Dul must break free from her mother and become a woman in the only way possible within this dysfunctional family.
