One day, Lars comes to Gus's door and announces he's met a girl over the internet – a sweet, wheelchair-bound missionary named Bianca. Gus and his expecting wife, Karin (Creator/EmilyMortimer), readily agree that she can stay over. But the "girl" turns out to be a bit less... ''alive'' than they imagined. It seems that Lars has finally gone crazy, and has fallen in love with a Real Doll sex doll, believing she's a real woman.

Lars Lindstrom (Creator/RyanGosling) is a quiet, somewhat asocial man. He lives in a garage next to the house of his brother Gus (Creator/PaulSchneider), and has a crippling fear of personal interaction. A co-worker, Margo (Creator/KelliGarner), is interested in him, but he avoids anything more than brief encounters.

One day, he comes to Gus' door and says that he's met a girl over the internet -- a sweet, wheelchair-bound missionary named Bianca. Gus and his expecting wife, Karin (Creator/EmilyMortimer), are eager to agree that she can stay over. But the "girl" turns out to be a bit less... ''alive'' than they imagined. It seems that Lars has finally gone crazy, and has fallen in love with a Real Doll sex doll, believing she's a real woman.
