Storia
Corky (Sir Anthony Hopkins), an aspiring magician, struggles during his solo debut due to stage fright. His mentor then pairs him with a ventriloquist dummy named 'Fats' to improve his act. Corky's career skyrockets, but he soon discovers that Fats has developed its own personality and wants control over Corky. The dummy begins to manipulate Corky, leading him down a dark path.
