Baron Bear Bailey is a music-store coworker who secretly harbors romantic feelings for his childhood friend Nikki. Along with their friends, Ian and Sarah, they spin records and share small-town dreams. When Bear returns home to find his cat Sandy dead after apparently ingesting oxycodone, the mood turns from hopeful to haunted. In a bid to change their fortunes, Bear buys Nikki a peculiar gift at an occult shop: the “One Wish Willow,” a novelty toy that supposedly grants one wish per person once broken. Its glossy whisper promises something almost magical, and the purchase tugs Bear toward a dangerous possibility.
