Sandy Burks is a doll. A living, speaking doll. She lives with her parents and her younger brother Troy in her small white, dollhouse in the playroom of a human girl. Every day they pretend to be made of plastic, to be lifeless, empty and hollow. One day though a stranger called Gregor enters Sandy's room through the window. Sandy finds out that all dolls are in danger of being burned - because of the growing popularity of video games. Sandy sets off with Gregor to save them all - and perhaps she learns why playtoys are important for children.
