Dylan is moving into his sister's old room and packing away all his toys from over the years. Then he is approached by a mysterious younger boy who calls himself Buddy and acts as if Dylan already knows him...and seems responsible for his best friend's being slipped an allergen in his sandwich. Buddy looks and sounds exactly like Dylan's old doll Buddy, and Dylan's other good friend is attacked. The doll continues to approach and torment Dylan, not accepting that this part of Dylan's life won't include him.
