SYNOPSIS

     Kenneth Winslow, a socially insecure writer of instruction manuals, secretly longs for beautiful coworker Lisa Belmer. Unable to act on his desires in real life, Kenneth orders “Nikki” a photo-realistic sex doll from a mysterious web-site, and customizes the doll in Lisa's image.
     As Kenneth's imaginary relationship with Nikki blossoms, his newfound romantic skills attract Lisa's real-life affection. But when Kenneth tries to have a relationship with Lisa, there's just one problem... the doll is jealous.
     As the doll's personality invades his consciousness, Kenneth becomes trapped in a perverse triangle, torn between the dominating, silicone Nikki and the flesh-and-blood Lisa.
