In the year 1999, a troubled pilot named Petey Shelbourne (played by Adam Scott) stumbles into a pawn shop, covered in blood and clutching a sinister-looking toy monkey equipped with a drum. Desperately, he tries to convince the shop owner Shafin Karim that this Monkey is cursed, warning that whenever it beats its drum, dire consequences will follow. Just as he speaks, the Monkey begins to play its haunting tune, unleashing chaos when a mouse chews through a wire, triggering a harpoon gun that fatally injures the shop owner by impaling him. In a frantic attempt to end the horror, Petey grabs a flamethrower, intending to destroy the cursed artifact himself.
