6	Sam and Danielle Hunt are a recently married couple. One night as they sit together on the sofa, the door rattles, a package is left on the doorstep, and Sam vanishes. Danielle opens the box, to find that it contains a living doll who knows where Sam is. She finds his orphanage file, when his adopted parents become dolls. She goes to look for him at his old address, and finds a boy named Jimmy who looks exactly like Young Sam -- which is when everything gets worse.

He tries to burn the clown doll, when he is murdered by the Clown. Unknown to everyone, his sister Kim hid behind the sofa and created the helpful doll from all the good things in her house.]]
