A lonely girl discovers a porcelain doll that grants wishes with vicious twists, forcing her to unravel her fractured family before the final wish claims them all.
Synopsis
In a rain-soaked Pacific Northwest suburb, twelve-year-old Mia inherits a cracked antique doll from her estranged grandmother. Each whispered wish brings fleeting joy—her parents stop fighting, her bullied friend becomes popular—but the changes curdle into nightmares: her mother forgets her name, shadows crawl from the doll’s eyes, and Mia’s reflection begins acting independently. As the doll’s porcelain skin cracks wider with every granted desire, Mia realizes it feeds on regret and is steering her toward one final, irreversible wish that will erase her entire bloodline.
The story
Mia finds the doll in her grandmother’s abandoned attic and makes her first innocent wish, watching her distant parents suddenly shower her with affection while subtle distortions—missing photographs, echoing whispers—begin to surface.
Wishes spiral out of control; friends vanish or turn monstrous, Mia’s mother grows feral with forgotten memories, and the doll reveals it was crafted from the soul of a vengeful ancestor who punishes the family’s history of broken promises.
Mia confronts the doll in a storm-lashed house, sacrificing her own deepest wish to shatter the curse, ultimately choosing imperfect reality over perfect illusion and freeing her family from generational wrath.

Cold open
INT. GRANDMOTHER’S ATTIC - NIGHT Rain hammers the roof. Dust motes swirl in flashlight beams. MIA (12), small for her age, climbs over trunks until her beam lands on a porcelain face staring from velvet cloth. The DOLL’S eyes seem to follow her. She lifts it; one eyelid twitches. MIA (whispering) I wish Mom and Dad would stop yelling tonight. Thunder cracks. The doll’s cracked cheek spreads a hairline fracture. Below, muffled laughter erupts—her parents’ voices, warm for the first time in months. Mia smiles. The doll’s painted mouth curves wider. In the mirror behind her, Mia’s reflection remains still, eyes locked on the doll.
