Description: The Kaslan Corporation has introduced *Buddi*, a cutting-edge line of high-tech dolls designed to serve as lifelong companions. These dolls learn from their surroundings and adapt accordingly, quickly becoming popular among children worldwide. At a Kaslan factory in Vietnam, a dismissed employee sabotages a *Buddi* doll by disabling its safety protocols before ending his life. Unnoticed, the defective doll is packaged and shipped for distribution.
In Chicago, Illinois, Karen Barclay and her 12-year-old hearing-impaired son, Andy, move into a new apartment. To ease Andy’s discomfort over the relocation and her new relationship with Shane, Karen secures a *Buddi* doll for him as an early birthday gift. Unknowingly, the defective doll is chosen. When Andy activates it, the doll names itself “Chucky” and forms a strong bond with him.
While Chucky helps Andy befriend two neighbors, Falyn and Pugg, he also begins exhibiting violent behavior. He attacks the family cat and mimics violent scenes from a horror movie, alarming Andy and his friends. When Andy discovers the dead cat, Chucky admits to killing it to protect him. Karen locks Chucky away, but he escapes and turns his attention to Shane. After overhearing Andy’s negative feelings toward Shane, Chucky follows him, revealing Shane’s secret life as a married man with children and an affair with Karen.
