  • There’s a factory, long since abandoned, sealed up and left to rot for over twenty years. And yet when young podcaster, May, arrives looking for answers about two missing urban explorers, she only finds more questions. Why can she hear laughter echoing through the empty halls? Why can she hear toy commercials playing on TV’s that nobody is watching? And why are there still toys here, as if waiting for somebody, anybody, to play with them? Mostly, though, why is there a brutally murdered body on the floor? Forced to venture deeper inside, she will have to uncover the mysteries of the toy factory, the magic and ancient horror at its core, and come face-to-face with the toymaker himself.

It’s all going well until two dognappers enter the picture and Nathan has to go back to his family home to find his lost mum and her army of dogs. Sweet like a Pixar movie but riotous and absurd.
