When Susie and Heath purchase an apple head doll from a quirky oddities shop, they think they are just getting a quaint, kitsch souvenir.
However, Heath soon realises that this doll, far from being the apple of Susie’s eye is, in fact, rotten to the core. Heath knows it. Even Jackie the dog knows it. But can Heath convince Susie of the doll’s evil nature before they all find out whether one bad apple really can spoil the whole barrel?!
